No notability.
[edit]This is one of a large number of articles on mathematicians and their works, mostly female mathematicians, added by a single user, apparently as a campaign to increase the number of women-in-mathematics-related articles on Wikipedia.
Problem is that WP guidelines on notability, undue weight and others are being ignored or deliberately misinterpreted to achieve the goal. This article is a case in point.
Being a professor, having a PhD, and writing academic books are not notable by themselves, and do not become notable by being described at the professor's faculty directory page. Mathematics publications being indexed in MR and Zentralblatt is not notable. What is needed to establish notability is significant, independent, non-automatic, not pro forma, coverage of the subject of the article; or something clearly amounting to such significance in the academic context.
It's totally possible the professor described in this article is actually highly notable and it just wasn't documented properly in the article. But in the current state the article can be deleted. 73.89.25.252 (talk) 06:19, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- The subject's named chair is a pass of WP:NPROF C5. Multiple books with multiple reviews is a pass of WP:NAUTHOR. The subject is notable. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:06, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
