Notability

Hi CRostvik - this cropped up in the NPP feed, I'm trying to find a route to notability - basically, without better sourcing I think this will end up at WP:AfD.

WP:NPROF wouldn't fly as it stands, unless we can establish that her work has had a major impact on the discipline (criterion 1) - that has to be established by independent sourcing though. Do you know of any heavyweight reviews of her book, for example, that we could use to establish its impact? Or any of the other criteria you think might work?
The alternative would be plain old WP:GNG, which is going to require independent, secondary sourcing giving her significant coverage. All of the sources are currently affiliated ones (her own website, an academic network she's involved with, and a commercial website selling her book) - are you aware of any better sourcing than this?

Hello, thank you! This is useful, I am new to Wiki. So I am struggling with finding more sources. Would it be something like news coverage of this persons work? (CRostvik (talk) 14:25, 28 October 2020 (UTC)).[reply]
