Copied into main space from declined draft
Draft:Angela Busheska. Draft was declined for relying on primary sources. This version should be draftified/deleted so that only one version of article exists and it is not ready for main space

Delete these "30 under 30 lists" aren't notable, rest of the awards are trivial. A strong student perhaps, but nothing we need for a wiki article.

one thing is maybe the country, if you take a look most of the activists are US / West Europe centered

Comment - not all of these sources are primary, two of the articles in Macedonian (refs 7 and 8) are more in-depth coverage of Busheska. Ref 7 was published the year before she was named to the Forbes list. ~~~~ (sorry, signature was lost on that comment)

Keep - while she is young, her recognition extends beyond the Forbes list, e.g., the
Diana Award. There are young climate activists participating in global discussions, and she appears to be one of them. There are multiple news articles in the Macedonian press covering Busheska. I have added these (non-primary) sources to the article, and removed some of the primary ones that were in the prior version.

You are not helping this discussion with links to the websites. Do you examples of news articles talking about her?

Delete. Undergraduates are almost never notable. The trendiness of climate activism in the last 10 years has drawn a large cadre of people, so simply "participating in global discussions" is not terribly notable. There's also no convincing claim to notability in the lede. This is a SPA-created article that was born less than 2 hours after its creating account appeared and the initial version of the article was highly-detailed with obscure, unsourced biosketch information. It is almost certainly a vanity autobio.

There are several new or low-edit-tally accounts responding here with additional sources that do not actually further the case for keeping, for example the "Green Tech Festival" one here. At least one is an IP from school that the subject of this article attends. If the responder is the same person as the subject of this article, my advice would be to refrain from further input and just let the debate play-out.

FWIW, regarding the "Selected publications" section, conference papers in mechanical engineering are not notable in the conventional way that they are in computer science. Refereed journal articles are what count. Moreover, "Selected publications" is usually used to highlight a short list of the most interesting or impactful papers for people who've compiled a very long publication record. Having that sort of section here for an undergraduate feels like it's trying too hard.

Delete. Since she does not meet any NPROF criteria, she must be evaluated via GNG. The sources are still almost entirely primary news announcements, passing mentions, or non-independent.
