BigHaz suggested this article be deleted, but I'm not clear why. Borgman is the fourth most highly cited scholar in her field (www.slis.indiana.edu/faculty/meho/cronin-meho-01.pdf), and her work has had major implications for communication (especially scholarly communication), computer science, and information science. I was surprised there was not already an article about her in Wikipedia. It's frustrating to start an article in Wikipedia only to find one person can throw all my work into jeopardy. It's as though one is guilty of a bad page in Wikipedia merely by accusation, and the burden is thus on me to prove my innocence for writing the article in the first place. That seems contrary to Wikipedia's original aims. Besides, how many scholars have an endowed chair from the University of California Regents (those are the folks who run the entire UC system, not just UCLA)? That alone seems reason enough for an article.
