 * Comment: This is currently at AfD, so approval for DYK will need to wait until the discussion concludes, but it is looking likely to be kept. I'm counting the expansion from this version (575 B) as later versions turned some of the text into bulleted lists that are not counted in text length. I'm also not counting the two longer deleted versions where someone copy-pasted her official bio into our article and it was immediately removed as a copyvio.

5x expanded by David Eppstein (talk). Self-nominated at 07:45, 3 June 2018 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Expansion completed 6/3 nom same day. New enough. From May 3rd history, article was 392 char, current at 3236 (from version cited by Eppstein was 575 char.) Either way you go, > 5x expansion and long enough. No apparent copyvios. Neutral. All body text contains in-line citations. Hook 75 char, under 200 max. QPQ done. No access to the WSJ article, but the Time article clearly states that she developed the program and that it was being used by 9 universities. Appears article will pass as soon as AfD (which looks like it will be keep) is resolved. SusunW (talk) 16:35, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
