Sorry, but... this is a memorial page for a researcher who does not in any way rise to the level of notability required for a biographical article (WP:NBIO, WP:NSCHOLAR). Wikipedia is not the correct place for this. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:27, 14 September 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:27, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Add: this is starting to look good, the Portuguese sources make a much better case. Leaving this open for another day or so, then will withdraw unless dissenting opinions come up. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:44, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - this is not a memorial page, it just happens to have been created following her death as that is when the subject was in the news. Subject certainly meets the first criteria of academic notability: "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline" as she discovered and documented a previously unknown species. MurielMary (talk) 08:53, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * That is not a "significant impact on the discipline", sorry. I have two species to my name, I know a dozen people who have tens (in two cases, more than a hundred), and none of us comes anywhere near the "significant impact" threshold. Naming new species is easy - a short dig in your garden will almost certainly net you an undescribed nematode :) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:13, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment, it is not just that for which she is famous. Leo1pard (talk) 07:18, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Dead link. What is it supposed to be about? -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:17, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Now that's a surprise, it was obviously working before I put it here, but it's about her being a whisteblower in this case. Leo1pard (talk) 12:28, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

 * so Bianca Reinert and Bianca Goodson are the same person? 168.85.177.4 (talk) 18:39, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think these are the same people. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:04, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep I did some digging and not only was she the lead on the 1995 research establishing that the bird is a new species (not as simple as digging in the dirt, btw), she helped found the reserve to preserve its habitat. She then continued to work to preserve the habitat of this bird the rest of her life, even releasing a picture book about the bird a few months before her death. There's enough references for her to pass GNG and anyone who is fluent in Portuguese will no doubt find even more than I did. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:04, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:Hey. Subject passes GNG. Thsmi002 (talk) 01:08, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep From my brief look in Google books it is obvious that she did much more than dig in her garden and find a species. She is respected in her field and recognized for her contributions. And by the way, she didn't find a new species but a new genus that captured the attention of people in her field. As others mention she is well known for her work on conservation. An easy Keep.
