The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. While two of the keep comments were self-described as "weak," the participants in the discussion do agree the subject meets WP:PROF and no one besides the nominator advanced a delete position (even after a relist).

So I stumbled upon this in the summer when I was reviewing Draft:Corporate Governance Forum of Turkey, of which she is the founder of. Back then this was a draft and was later speedied for having copyright violations. The user who created the draft has "SU" at the end of his username, which stands short for "Sabancı University", and this being re-created right after deletion probably means that they have a conflict of interest.

Anyway, this activist/scholar/academic is not close to meeting GNG. The sources are mere mentions of her. The media section is filled with refbombs of her appearances on TV, which in an WP:INTERVIEW style repeat her words, and nothing is actually about her. ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 11:02, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Keep. If the subject meets WP:PROF, then GNG does not need to be met. The citations profile on Google Scholar[1] looks promising (225,222,214,162,138) but this is far from my area of expertise. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:47, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Meets WP:PROF.--Ipigott (talk) 07:55, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: Is at the borderline for WP:NPROF with a low h-index (15) but a decent number of 5 highly cited (<100) papers. --hroest 16:08, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
