Talk:Ann T. Bowling

Status of the GA nom
It is difficult to assess this page for GA since there is no substantial page on horse genetics at Wikipedia. The Horse article has a short section in it, and there is a Horse genome article which touches on this topic, though these fall short of a full article. Dr Bowling's place of importance to horse genetics would seems to need a horse genetics page in order to better understand her place and contributions to her field. Pedigree verification, molecular horse disease study, comparative horse genetics are all related but without a central article to join them together. For the Dr Bowling article it seems that it would also need a section dealing with her relevance to contemporary on-going research and future research directions currently on the academic agenda for the studies which she initiated and guided in her lifetime. Without an article on horse genetics available at Wikipedia, it does not appear that it would be easy to start that discussion on the Dr Bowling page though it would be nice to see such a discussion. The article itself has been properly written and the references are well formated otherwise. Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, I disagree that a biography is dependent on other wikipedia articles being up to snuff, but take a look at equine coat color genetics, where Bowling figures prominently. may be of some assistance in answering this question also, as she does a number of articles on women scientists.

 * *swoops down from the sky* Hi! There's a ton of bios on women scientists where the articles on their discoveries are not well fleshed out. As a newly minted Degree-Holding Scientist (TM) this is a right shame, but not anything that should keep an article from GA status, imo. Keilana (talk) 19:45, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Response and congrats to Keilana for recent graduation; are you staying at the same school for your next degree or moving on? Regarding the current nomination, by all means go forward. My comment was that it might be nice to see a short section on her Legacy to the science of horses in molecular biology, since usually genetics seems to concentrate research on drosophila, primates, and humans. If an article on horse genetics is not on the immediate horizon, then maybe a short section on current research trends related to her original investigations (Legacy) might work well. Cheers.

 * I'm open to the idea of a "Legacy" section, though perhaps after we get done with GAN, as the research is going to be rather daunting (like covering everything that's happened in equine genetics since her untimely death in 2000...she's sort of the godmother of it all, really.) .
