no claim to notability per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics), no third party sources, even created with the orphan tag, as though to merely fill a redlink Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 06:10, 7 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep Google scholar is a third party source and her google scholar link shows an h-index of 20, which is pretty much out of the ballpark for the humanities. Add to this the fact that she holds full professorships at two first-rate universities and appears to be being used as a poster-child for one of them. The worldcat link shows three separate books held by > 500 libraries (meeting Criterion 4). Maybe internet was on the blink when the nominator did their WP:BEFORE checks?

  • Keep Editor of several very widely held major reference sources, and a standard textbook, which I added -- but I don't blame anyone for wondering at the notability on the basis of the original extraordinarily sketchy article DGG ( talk ) 04:07, 8 December 2014 (UTC) reply
