Citations

[edit]

Two citations have been repeatedly removed, with the rationales Not subject's research as first contributing author [1], non-first author research is not definitively the topic of the subject's research [2] or no rationale at all. I have never seen this argument advanced in over two years that I've worked on scientist biographies here. These papers are research that Yammine worked on; ergo, it's a topic of Yammine's research, author order notwithstanding. (If a scientist is the five-hundredth author on a paper for the Human Genome Project or reporting the discovery of the Higgs boson, they did still work on the human genome or the Higgs. And here we're talking about papers with four authors apiece. The article does not claim that she instigated this work, only that she participates in it.)

In addition, this edit removed secondary sources on the grounds that they are redundant citations (news reports on existing citation). This goes against the basic principle that Wikipedia relies upon secondary sources to evaluate primary ones. XOR'easter (talk) 16:13, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the same anon IP just removed the category "Living people", which is a headscratcher. XOR'easter (talk) 20:15, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Notability

[edit]

Is this person "Notable". How is she more notable than other similar or more prolific neuroscientists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agiligson (talkcontribs) Agiligson (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
