This submission's references do not show that the subject
qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published,
reliable,
secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the
guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see
technical help and learn about
mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the
talk page of a
relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant
WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.
Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.
Comment: This reads like a CV.What has been written about Wang or her research or other work by academics (or perhaps other people) who are independent of her?As a very humdrum example, "Wang was a speaker at the 2021 Climate Action Pursuit by Second Nature." OK, good, but what notice was taken of her speech? Was it remarked upon in newspapers or relevant periodicals?As the chair or director of this or that, what is she reported as having achieved (or tried but failed to achieve; or avoided attempting, or whatever)?If Measuring Sustainability: Ecological Footprints is a book -- and I really don't know; the link to it (perhaps only temporarily) doesn't work -- then has it been reviewed? If so, perhaps summarize the review(s).

Comment: The year of birth/age in the infobox (from an age as at date template) must be supported by an inline citation. Also, reference 32 is from Facebook (and the link doesn't work anyway). Social media should not be used as sources. The article is promising, but relies heavily on sources that are not fully independent (ie they are published by the employer of the subject). Finally, it is not clear to me that the current version of the draft article demonstrates how the subject meets the high expectations for notability of academics set out in
