How this page/individual meets criteria 7, 8 and 3 of Wikipedia:Notability (academics): - Main criterium met is #7 "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." [...] "Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area" => This academic individual has provided expert comments regularly for the Financial Times, the Telegraph, BBC, ITV News, Fortune, and other his research has been covered by the Economist, Bloomberg, the Financial Times and has written op-ed for Le Monde, Forbes, etc. (source)

- Other criteria met are Criterium 3 "The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association" => The academic individual is mid-career fellow of the British Academy, elected member of the council and one of the 20 trustees of the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and Criterium 8 "The person is chief editor of a journal" => The individual was editor in chief of the first open access journal in the field of management M@N@GEMENT

Criteria 1 on impact in the scholarly discipline is discussable but could be argued for. Published a book with multiple reviews.

Significant coverage?[edit]

Hi LizK91. I was hesitant to mark the page as reviewed as I skimmed a bunch of the sources and had trouble finding ones that include "significant coverage" of Roulet. Which of the sources do you think have the most in-depth coverage of Roulet himself? As I'm posting this I see the discussion linked above on notability and will review that as well.

thanks a lot for taking the time!

Yes - the page meets three criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (academics) and I understand them to differ a bit from Wikipedia:Notability (people) on coverage. A lot of it is media mentions about research or op-eds.

but in terms of coverage on Roulet himself (and independent from the sources so I eliminated sources from his academic institution) that is what I found (by order of significance)

I think this is probably too much to be included. Hope this is somehow helpful! LizK91 (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks LizK9. Some of those are by Roulet himself, and others are WP:INTERVIEWs containing mostly primary content. I'm generally wary about using event bios, which are often written by the speakers/presenters themselves (or their home institution's PR team).

Also, I marked the page as reviewed based mainly on the NACADMIC criteria. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:38, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point! and good to know.

and many thanks for the review! LizK91 (talk) 18:50, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
