Draft:Jennifer Siegel

• Comment: No secondary sourcing whatsoever to prove the subject passes NPROF; instead, we have a LinkedIn style resume with unverified claims and links to publications. That is not how biographies on Wikipedia are written. Drmies (talk) 00:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: User:Drmies: Please read NPROF more carefully, because your decline statement is flat-out incorrect. She clearly and obviously passes WP:PROF#C5 as the holder of a named and distinguished professorship at a major research university; that criterion considers publications by the university (such as the source we have, her faculty directory page) to be sufficient as references. That said, there are multiple other claims in the article (her birthday, her past work history) that are unsupported by the current sources; everything must be properly sourced. And the book publications should be supported by independent published sources (most likely published reviews of the books) rather than their publishers' sales sites; the sources should be formatted as references, not as links within the article text. And the bare-url references should be replaced by properly formatted human-readable references. So this draft was not ready to be accepted, but for different reasons than the ones you gave. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:13, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
