While accomplished, searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show she meets WP:GNG. She is quoted a lot, about events at the museum where she works, some brief mentions, and several primary sources.  Onel 5969  TT me 04:27, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. I have added a bit to this bio, including a key fact: she holds a named, endowed directorship at Penn, and therefore meets WP:PROF, Criterion 5. Such academic notability is is explicitly listed as an alternative to the General Notability Guideline. Cheers! Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 05:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment, actually, that position is neither "a named chair appointment or distinguished professor", which would indeed fulfill #5. Also, neither of the citations provided actually says that the position is how you describe it, instead stating simply that she is the director of art institute.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:26, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with Onel: if you actually look it up, it is not a named or endowed chairship, nor it it a named professorship as described in WP:PROF /5. WP:PROF is not met by this point.104.163.147.121 (talk) 02:41, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe you missed or mis-read the ArtNews source, which says, "Dietrich has been a longtime supporter of the museum, and led a capital campaign in 2005 by endowing the Daniel W. Dietrich II position now occupied by Sadao." Academic institutions hire librarians and museum directors into endowed chairs, even though the positions may technically be classified as administrative, rather than as teaching faculty. The point is that a named endowed chair for an administrator has the same prestige and honor as a named endowed chair for a faculty member. See, for example, Deborah A. Carver. At any rate, has provided additional RS, showing Sadao also fulfills GNG. Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 03:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I think you are stretching WP:PROF to include administrative positions, which most profs I know would disagree with! But, as you say, it is probably moot.104.163.147.121 (talk) 04:11, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Since the ICA is owned by Penn, and the directorship is named, I agree with with . However, I also believe she passes GNG. I was able to turn up quite a lot of meaty information on her and added it to the article. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:34, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: an acceptable article at this point; meets WP:GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:51, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passing both WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 09:53, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
