Delete. It's hard to see how basic notability criteria have been satisfied given the lack of third-party sourcing or in-depth coverage. --DAJF (talk) 14:49, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A GS h-index of 40 (even though there may be some overcounting due to similar names) gives a clear pass of WP:Prof#C1, even in this highly cited field. Positions and awards add to notability. However the subject may be embarrassed by the peacockery of this BLP{. Xxanthippe (talk).
Keep. This resume-like BLP has to be rewritten, but she is notable. Beyond the publications and citations, her work is being reported in the major media: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], etc. She also is president of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan ([6]), which would seem to satisfy criterion 6 of WP:ACADEMIC. According to ja:日本分子生物学会, it has 15,000 members. Michitaro (talk) 01:53, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. With a h-index of a least 40, clearly passes WP:Prof#C1, and as President of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan passes WP:Prof#C6 too. I find this nomination incomprehensible. -- 101.119.14.203 (talk) 12:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
