  • Comment: Should be accepted. Let other editors expand it too. Legacypac (talk) 03:29, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: Needs cleanup, but it sounds as if it passes WP:ACADEMIC for notability. It could probably use some more information on the actual work she did, rather than just where she went to school and what honors she had. Like, find sources that explain how she formed the Matrix and the work she did with it. Bkissin (talk) 00:35, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
