Most of the sources are interviews or her articles/books. Nothing substantial to satisfy the general notability guidelines Reading Beans Talk to the Beans? 06:50, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Faulty nomination doesn't even consider the correct notability criterion (WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR, not WP:GNG). As Barbara Lee Distinguished Chair in Women's Leadership at Mills College, she passes WP:PROF#C5. As a heavily cited author in a field where this is unusual, she passes #C1. I'm also seeing a fair number of published academic reviews for her books but (except for ) as edited volumes rather than monographs they make at best a borderline pass of WP:AUTHOR. In any case only one criterion is enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:21, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The essence of nominating is to get a consensus. Just so you know, I'm not trying to win here. Reading Beans Talk to the Beans? 07:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * If you want to question notability of a two-year-old article, add a tag to the article rather than bringing it to AfD. Pam  D  13:42, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * No one would clean it up if I didn't. Tags only pile up list with no improvement. Best, Reading Beans <b style="color: black;font-weight: bold;">Talk to the Beans?</b> 15:06, 30 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep as Eppstein clearly shows. It is best to be sure of one's ground before nominating for AfD. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:39, 30 May 2022 (UTC).
 * Keep. Meets WP:NACADEMIC #5, having been appointed the Kwame Nkrumah Chair in African Studies at the University of Ghana. Also meets #8 as the founding editor of Feminist Africa. gobonobo  + c 11:01, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: a further source added which shows academic paper discussing her book, as more evidence of notability. Pam  D  13:39, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
