Talk:Ellen D. Katz

Notability - need some help!
It strikes me as thin. Just being a law professor at Michigan isn't sufficient, nor is being quoted in one article in the NYT. I've run down the list of criteria at WP:Academic and the only one of the nine that seems as though it might apply would be 1) "the person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources" or 7) "The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity". The article on Voting Rights Act litigation, which her faculty bio describes as "influential" might do the trick, but I am having trouble figuring out what article that might be. (I changed the law school's own "influential", which smacks of puffery, to "widely-cited", which is a less loaded, and necessarily included, adjective.) Is it this article? It's been reproduced in a lot of places, and cited in footnotes in a various others, but I'm not sure I've got the right one. I'm also not sure that that article meets the standards of #1 or 7 above but before getting into that discussion it'd be good to figure out what exactly we're talking about. Thanks.

 * I've added two templates - notability and primary sources - to the article as we sort this out. JohnInDC (talk) 15:24, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
