Reads like a CV

[edit]

This article looks like the CV of a typical professor. Prof. Mutzel's work is no doubt excellent, but what makes her sufficiently notable to warrant a Wikipedia page? Has she won a major award (like a Turing Award), or received substantial coverage in the media? LachlanA (talk) 06:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is not necessary to win a major award to be notable as an academic — that's one of the academic notability criteria but is only rarely used. The much-more-typical case (that she also passes) is WP:PROF#C1 — her Google scholar profile shows many highly-cited works, including 11 with over 100 citations each. That's 1100 sources, mostly reliably published, and some (though not all) with in-depth coverage of her work, right there. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:35, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
