| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- No, the article is almost entirely based on her CV, which is not an independent source. Although this can be used per WP:ABOUTSELF, an article must not be primarily based on such sources. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
|---|
|
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
In addition to the source not being independent, the result of using the CV so thoroughly is that the prose reads very much like a list. An article should go beyond a list of positions or publications. For example, what influenced her work? How has she revised or expanded on existing scholarship? Additional sources will help with this. Kim Post (talk) 18:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- Good idea. Let me know when you have them, and I will incorporate them into the article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:47, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- Book reviews might be the most straightforward independent sources here.[2][3][4][5] Or, perhaps her own commentary on her work in front matter.[6] Kim Post (talk) 23:06, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- Pinging Hawkeye7; it's been over a month, and the article has not been edited at all. Please let us know whether you plan to return to this nomination or not. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:55, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
