Notability

[edit]

While her husband has some degree of notability due to his treatment-altering research on sickle cell, I'm not convinced she rises to the level of having an encyclopedia article. Any career professor at a medical school will have hundreds of scholarly journals published; research and publication are part of the job. What makes her stand apart from them? I'm submitting request for deletion because I don't see it. thanks. MartinezMD (talk) 15:47, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing this, MartinezMD. She meets WP:NACADEMIC, criterion 5, because she was a Distinguished Professor (in three departments no less) at Hopkins; she has the added recognition of a meeting room at Hopkins named for her. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see "distinguished" professor or equivalent in the article. I see full professor but that is different, no? MartinezMD (talk) 16:15, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's in the lead. "...retiring as a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Pathology, Medicine, and Oncology.[1]" -- MelanieN (talk) 16:16, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just going to go back and drink another cup of coffee, because clearly I'm not my sharpest this morning. Will request a withdrawal of my nomination. Apologies all around. MartinezMD (talk) 16:18, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry about it! Happens to all of us sometimes. I appreciate your improvements at the Samuel Charache article. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:23, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
