I challenge the notability of Roberta L. DeBiasi. The bbc article cited only contains passing mention of Roberta L. DeBiasi and the only other reference is from the website of her workplace. Further research on this individual turns up other news sources, all with passing mention. Not notable. Andrew nyr ( talk, contribs) 20:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

- Commment https://childrensnational.org/research-and-education/about-cri/faculty-and-leadership-directory/roberta-debiasi has a few more references under "News and stories". I've not looked what level of detail they are though. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 09:00, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

- Commment Again though, the source is from her employer. It is the website of the hospital that she works at and does not help establish notability. Andrew nyr ( talk, contribs) 12:45, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I know - I'm not referring to the page itself, I'm referring to the set of pages it links to. Some are Children's National articles, but to pick another one at random, for instance https://www.fox5dc.com/news/new-numbers-show-impact-coronavirus-has-on-children is Fox 5 quoting Roberta L. DeBiasi. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 08:56, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I think this one could be borderline, but there is enough information available to write a reliably sourced article. She's referred to in independent sources as a "zika expert". She's being quoted in a lot of news articles as an authority on pediatric infectious diseases. Has published highly-cited articles. Natureium ( talk) 21:08, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep Some independant coverage in various places, though not as significant as I'd have perhaps liked. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 18:13, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
