The result was Keep as SNOW, considering it's a few days before, but the consensus is clear, and there's nothing else suggesting there are in fact concerns for WP:PROF (NAC). SwisterTwister talk 07:37, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My principal concern is that she appears to have received a series of non-notable awards, and therefore does not qualify for WP:ACADEMIC. The article certainly implies her importance, but the references, as given, do not support the actual claim of notability. KDS4444 (talk) 11:57, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I would (again) argue that inclusion in the NLM's Changing the Face of Medicine confers notability; however, even without that I found a couple more sources to bolster her notability. [1] [2] Keilana (talk) 14:52, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I argue the same as Emily, but I would also add that she has held several leadership roles in the American Thoracic Society as well as at her university, and helped near eradicate tuberculosis on her campus - no easy feat. Since the call for deletion, new sources have been added to the article. As recently discovered, she has had an award named after her from the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Chapter of Physicians.

Keep: Per Keilana's note. Her accomplishments were as a doctor and scientist, so even if she failed WP:ACADEMIC (which she passes, see #7) she'd still be notabile. Jergling (talk) 19:52, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The first sentence backed up by the first reference is well-evidenced notability. I really am surprised to see this taken to AfD. Bad call. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:00, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - If the National Library of Medicine has declared her to be one of the people who "changed the face of medicine", then she's notable. 32.218.37.243 (talk) 16:12, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
