Fourteen years without a proper source giving any indication of the actual notability of this article subject. No information on their publications or influence in the field as an academic. BD2412 T 01:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. Named professorship at CMU is automatic pass of WP:PROF#C5 and not difficult to source (although it seems to be a past position). Heavy citations on Google Scholar (even in a heavily cited discipline) pass #C1. This needs some updating (she seems to no longer be active since around 2005) but WP:DINC. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:17, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, deletion is not cleanup, but if sources are that apparent then this should be cleaned up (and updated) anyway. I certainly wouldn't call any article with zero independent sources in the article, no matter the claims, a speedy keep case. Note that the "Patricia Carpenter's Biography - CMU Department of Psychology" on the page is effectively a dead link (does not lead to such a biography). BD2412 T 04:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Evident pass of WP:PROF#C1 and WP:PROF#C5 (and possibly a WP:PROF#C7 for apparently having been a go-to expert for "does speed reading actually work?" questions in the past). Page has been cleaned up. XOR'easter (talk) 15:56, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
