New article, asserts some minor notability, but how much? How notable are Assistant Professors? ELIMINATORJR 18:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep She is a budding researcher at a top University whose research is continuing to win awards.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment "Budding researcher" means nothing around here - that's crystal-balling. Is she writing books? Being discussed in the media? Leading a particular school of thought? MarkBul 20:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment I think she passes on WP:PROF criteria #6. --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not close, as far as I can see. Awards for papers written as a Ph.D student are nice for getting you a job after graduation, but unless you're extrordinary, they mean little in the real world. I see no signs that her work as a grad student was earth-shaking. Just another college prof, unless someone comes up with something else. MarkBul 20:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Tony raises compelling arguments, but I'm still not thinking that this is sufficient for notability requirements. No prejudice to recreation if/when she does cross the line. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. —David Eppstein 23:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. A best student paper award and an industry grant are not enough, and her research publications are too new to have had a significant impact. —David Eppstein 23:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Clearly a promising person, but at this point not even close to being notable. --Crusio 23:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete One single peer-reviewed forthcoming paper even in a very good journal is not notability. Far from it. An obvious beginner, in spite of a careful attempt to have as impressive an article as could be done given the facts of it. DGG (talk) 04:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
