Does not seem to meet the WP:PROF criteria. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 19:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC) Withdrawn, please close. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 05:05, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep She meets WP:PROF. By crude Google Scholar measures she has a h-Index of around 40, with ~19 papers cited over 100 times (#1) (note there's a few papers in there by other A McNeills but generally it's easy to sort). There's some debate as to how #5 should be applied to countries with the British system of professorships, but she's held full professorships at highly regarded British universities (formerly University of Nottingham, now KCL, both in the Russell Group). Also cited as an expert by the media (WP:PROF #7). --Colapeninsula (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I admit that I do not entirely understand how one measures notability by citation indexes, so if any other editor agrees with you, I will gladly withdraw. (I nominated it for deletion by default, despite my uncertainty, since the article has obvious COI issues. Note the constant reference to the subject in first person, and the username of the primary editor.) הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 23:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep per Colapeninsula - she meets WP:PROF. Also, I flipped the first and last name in the text.Kschlot1 (talk) 02:50, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very clear pass of WP:Prof. I cannot understand the nominator's rationale for this nomination. However, he has has the grace to offer to withdraw and I thank him for that. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:14, 7 February 2014 (UTC).
 * Xxanthippe: When I see obvious COI, and I don't know whether the subject meets notability criteria, and I have no one obvious to ask (the page's creator was an SPA) my first recourse is to AfD. I am pleased to be corrected. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 05:05, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
