 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Assistant professor with no evidence of any unusually high academic impact (such as highly cited papers) that would allow a pass of WP:PROF #1 at this early stage of her career, and who clearly does not pass the other criteria of WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:03, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as original prodder, would change my mind if she could be shown to pass WP:PROF or the GNG. Abductive (talk) 23:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Well referenced article of a published academic. Beltline (talk) 23:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin: This user is currently under investigation as a possible sockpuppet of banned User:Azviz -- if the close is close please check the status of this editor at that time. DreamGuy (talk) 16:12, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you read WP:PROF, you'll discover that "published academic" is not a sufficient criterion for keeping an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:47, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:PROF, lacks impact, lacks significant coverage. Maybe notable in the future but not today.--RadioFan (talk) 14:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ACADEMIC. DreamGuy (talk) 16:12, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete The content shows a successful career, but no evidence of notability. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 16:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Almost certainly not notable, unless some of the papers are extremely important, and there is no indication of this. It is exceedingly rare that someone who is still an assitant professor will have achieved enough professional recognition to meet WP:PROF. It was unrealistic to mark this article for rescue. DGG (talk) 08:40, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. WoS shows only 1 peer-reviewed publication (Christians AD, Columbia J. Law Soc. Prob. 1999) which has been cited 4 times. (Oddly, this publication is NOT listed in the article, though it does appear on her CV.) Note that the other papers listed as "peer-reviewed publications", may not actually qualify in the academic sense. For example, "Tax Treaties for..." seems to be some sort of conference paper: Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 05-10. Perhaps someone closer to the legal profession could weigh-in on these papers. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 12:31, 23 June 2009 (UTC).
