Well, technically, there's also the caveat "1. Note that if an academic is notable only for their connection to a single concept, paper, idea, event or student it may be more appropriate to include information about them on the related page, and to leave the entry under the academic as a redirect page." However, the page for the award doesn't exist, so that complicates things. And on the other hand, there's also the caveat "...Some academics may not meet any of these criteria, but may still be notable for their academic work...." So basically, I have no idea. She may well be plenty notable. I think the biggest problem in determining her notability is the one important fact gets drowned in all the lists of other (mostly unimportant) stuff. If you could rewrite it, as prose, to include some information on her life, on what she's actually done outside of the assorted publications, details on the award she received and what (specifically) she had to do to earn it and beat whoever else was in the running, and whatever else that I'm forgetting right now, perhaps it'd do a better job of clearly asserting notability. As it is right now, it really is little better than a resume which, unfortunately, makes it almost useless for anyone not looking to hire her. -Bbik04:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that she is notable enough. The problem is that what appears on the page is nothing more than a resume. It doesn't "read like a resume," it is a resume (CV). I will watch this page for a while, and maybe I'll butcher it into shape soon, if nobody else does. I hesitate because that will require massive deletions. Milkbreath14:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt anyone else will, so go for it. I'll help out if I can, but I don't really have the time to do a full-fledged rewrite. Nor do I know what half the stuff it mentions is, so I wouldn't have the first clue as to what should be outright deleted, and what's worth keeping and/or can be filled out with descriptions and explanations of relevance. -Bbik★16:02, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the worst of the resume dump, it's still not clean but I don't know what else to do with a lack of English sources apart from some of her pubs TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours04:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've cleaned up the list of publications because it was practically a dump from the Croatian scientific bibliography database, now linked. I also found the link to the award. It says:
The Thomson Reuters Outstanding Information Science Teacher Award was established in 1980 and is administered by the Information Science Education Committee. The award shall consist of a cash award of $1,000 from Thomson Reuters. The purpose of the Outstanding Information Science Teacher Award is to recognize the unique teaching contribution of an individual as a teacher of information science.
I've tagged it for questionable notability. Her only claim to fame is the award described above and to be honest it doesn't sound like much - it's simply an award for teaching information science. If she happened to author some textbook which is widely used then that would be a stronger case for proving contributions to her field, but as it stands now it the article looks like a rather unremarkable story of an academic's career. I think this is ripe for AfD but I'm willing to give it some time for improvement. Timbouctou (talk) 22:46, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say that receiving an international award should at least significantly contribute towards notability, plus she was the first non-American to receive it (after 26 years) - now mentioned in the text. Overall, I feel that she passes the threshold, so I've removed the tag. GregorB (talk) 14:26, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
