Prof. Mahal is notable for her work in the field of glycomics. She, along with Prof. Jun Hirabayashi in Japan has pioneered the use of lectin microarrays as a technology for glycomics. She is a recent recipient of both the Sloan Foundation Fellowship and an NIH Director's innovator award for her work in this field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Etischler (talk • contribs) 22:18, 26 September 2008

Please see WP:BIO and WP:V ... if there are no reliable secondary sources that can be cited, then the subject is not notable enough for an article here ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.98.105 (talk · contribs) _{22:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)}[reply]

Notice: This article does not verifiably establish WP:BIO

In my opinion, this article either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable sources in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Etischler (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make some constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings ... I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case. — 72.75.98.105 (talk) 22:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
