  • Keep – I believe Ms. Chu meets our requirements as an expert, under the Nobility guidelines, for inclusion here at Wikipedia. I was impressed with her scholarly works, as shown here at Google Scholar [1] and found some impressive interviews at Google Books as shown here [2]. In addition, there were a few interviews at Google News as provided here [3]. Each taken independently, would probably not warrant inclusion. However, taken as a whole, I believe meets our standards. Thanks. ShoesssS Talk 19:22, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. SilverserenC 19:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have added a number of sources. Admittedly, most of them are just mentions, which would mainly be used to reference specific facts about her, but taken with the information that Shoessss supplied above, I believe it establishes notability. SilverserenC 19:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The scholarly sources have not been cited very much and there are no major news sources about this person. It is borderline if she is a department head, but overall I think it should be deleted. MiRroar (talk) 20:23, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This biography does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for academics. That a source mentions her in passing is not very good evidence for her notability. I was unimpressed with her scholarly works, which have not been highly cited. That she does not meet any of the criteria that Wikipedia specifies, which have been detailed in the first response, suggests that this article should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.151.132.232 (talk) 07:27, 9 April 2010 (UTC) — 98.151.132.232 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete I agree, doesn't meet the guidelines for academics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tebp (talk • contribs) 19:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. By my count, Chu has an h-index of 9, but by the nature of her work has also received news coverage in non-academic media. I believe that the combination of the two establishes notability. -- Radagast3 (talk) 02:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Google news search produces results. [4] Dream Focus 08:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
