The result was speedy keep. Once more I will defer to David E.      Overall, I still think non-notable , but this might be borderline enough.  DGG ( talk ) 16:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

not notable. Only significantly cited paper; not enough to show her an authority in her field according to WP:PROF. The awards are almost every one of them routine undergraduate and graduate student scholarships. PhiBetaKappa and Tau Beta Phi are not societies whose membership implies notability. May be notable some day, but not yet.  DGG ( talk ) 04:07, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article is currently very badly sourced, but continuing coverage of her work in international major media (Wired 2012; Noticia al Dia 2015; CNN 2015; MentalFloss 2017) makes a case for WP:GNG and WP:PROF (substantial impact outside academia). —David Eppstein (talk) 06:25, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF/WP:GNG. We can add Popular Mechanics to the list . XOR&#39;easter (talk) 06:34, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

 * comment: {{U}David Eppstein}},, do you think the awards section for undergraduate and graduate scholarship should be retained? Do you think we should add such sections for all academics, because anyone vaguely notable will have certainly received such routine awards?


 * Keep per Eppstein.  Montanabw (talk) 22:23, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Have tidied up the refs a bit and added a couple - but I suggest we need an article on the Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award (currently a dodgy redirect to an article which doesn't mention it) if anyone feels like it - see https://www.disruptorawards.com/about-continued-info/, and it would have a lot of incoming links, plenty of mentions in en.wiki articles already.

 * comment:, , do you think the awards section for undergraduate and graduate scholarship should be retained? If you do, do you think we should add such sections for all academics, because anyone vaguely notable will have certainly received such routine awards, & it can generally be documented?

 * I don't think so. I removed most of that section. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
