Talk:Anna N. Żytkow

Notability
At the request of I have had a look at the possible (lack of) notability of Zytkow. The Web of Science lists 47 publications, which have been cited a total of 757 times, with an h-index of 12. The highest-cited articles have 174, 144, and 62 hits. I guess that if this were taken to AfD, some people might take the two highest-cited articles as evidence of passing WP:ACADEMIC#1. Others (like myself) would say that the citation record fails that same criterion. She is listed as "emeritus staff" at Cambridge University, but does not sem to have had a high-level position (she is not listed as "professor"). I have no idea how significant her formulation of the theoretical Thorne-Zytkow model is, nor whether having discovered several planetoids contributes to notability (I recall having seen a discussion about this, but haven't followed that and don't know how it concluded). Hope this is helpful for the editors working on this page. --Randykitty (talk) 12:36, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I created the article purely based on her theory of the Thorne–Żytkow object object, which is very notable in itself, and which IMO makes her notable. Thue (talk) 14:53, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I do agree that having one's name be a part of a notable scientific concept is an indicator of notability, through I don't believe it is a "formal" criteria... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:15, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * After reading the explanation from, I think we can remove the notability tag. A number of academics have added her as source.  Occult Zone  ( Talk ) 03:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Dispute with Bradley Schaefer
I removed the section because I see no notability in the incident. There are three references. The first two are the respective papers, primary sources. The third one, Katz book, outright says "Such inconclusive results are incredibly common in science", heavily suggesting there is no notability to the incident. I can also observe nothing is said about the incident on Schaefer's wiki page. (Zytkow isn't even mentioned there!) I call upon anyone, including User:MichaelDenisCassidy who added the section in 2019, to add at least one RS to help motivate why this incident bears mentioning.
