The result was Keep. Misses WP:ACADEMIC, but a credible claim is made that this passes GNG. Randykitty (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Anne Rimoin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No obvious notability. Lacks any independent refs other her own employer. Only an Associate Prof so no inherent notability from her academic position. Nothing in the largely cut-and-paste article that suggests any special notability. Fails WP:ACADEMIC.  Velella  Velella Talk  23:30, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Reply: She is very notable. She has done and published numerous epidemiological studies which can easily be found online and added to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreh102690 (talk • contribs) 23:42, 28 October 2014‎ (UTC)

 * '"Why is there a mad rush to delete new articles? Whatever happened to the idea that wiki is a collaborative effort at creating a satisfactory article. That means giving editors time to find an article and work on it. I haven't done that much work on it and I have already started wikifying it and Google has helped me find numerous sources.

 * There was no rush. but when an article appears bypassing the articles for creation process and contains an almost wholesale copy-vio from a University web-site, has no external refs and relates to an Associate Professor, a role that has no intrinsic notability, then this gives very little credibility to the idea that this is going to be a biography of a notable person. A better route would have been to draft it in Articles for creation where it would have been protected from external scrutiny and the risk of deletion.

 * Delete. WP:TOOSOON to have demonstrated academic notability according to WP:PROF. The citation counts to her publications do not stand out in what appears to be a high citation field, and what else is there? —David Eppstein (talk) 04:44, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - Article subject has been cited as an expert worldwide on ebola and monkeypox as shown by references Jinkinson provided plus these; KTLA 5 and Australian Broadcasting Corporation. JTdale   Talk 17:05, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Also found this. JTdale   Talk 17:07, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Manually counting an h-index of 13 from GS. She is primary author on papers with citation counts of 115, 60, 48. I don't have the benchmarks in epidemiology, but I would not say that is particularly "highly cited" in itself and I see no other lasting impact on the field. However, she appears to meet the general notability guideline with significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources that cite her work and expertise such as:
