Comment. The article mentions American Sociological Association's William J. Goode Distinguished Book Award, and the reference given checks out. Here is a link to a short bio blurb about her at the Council on Contemporary Families[1], which has additional info. I did not have time to investigate further, but my initial impression is that the subject is likely notable, perhpas under WP:AUTHOR and possibly WP:GNG/WP:BIO.

- Here is a link[2] to the 1997 WaPo review of the book that received the above mentioned award. Interestingly, in this review Donna Franklin is mentioned as "the John Milner Professor of Social Work at the University of Southern California." This indicates that she also may satisfy WP:PROF#C5.

Hi @Nsk92: I wasn't sure, but if I get another keep that confirms it, I will withdraw the nomination immediately. scope_creep^Talk 08:52, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

scope_creep: I found a couple of other sources on this point. A NYT article refers to her as "Donna Franklin, John Milner Professor of Child Welfare at the University of Southern California". Also, an article African Americans Who Hold Endowed University Chairs (which I downloaded from JSTOR) lists her on p. 106 as "Donna Franklin, John Milner Professor of Child Welfare, School of Social Work, University of Southern California." Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 12:01, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nsk92: I think that confirms it. Can you please update the article using the references you have discovered. scope_creep^Talk 12:23, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, done. Nsk92 (talk) 12:25, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination Withdrawn The lady is eminently notable. scope_creep^Talk 12:24, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
