Fails WP:NBIO, as tagged since August 2008. Primary sources do not establish notability, and searching fails to find reliable sources. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 03:18, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet our inclusion criteria for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject of this article is certainly notable, as per WP:PROF guideline 5: As a specialist in the history of West Africa, she holds a major university's chair in area studies. It is not reasonable or fair to be hypervigilant in deleting articles into which Wikipedia editors have invested considerable good-faith efforts in originating and improving. I am still endeavouring to secure more non-primary-source references; please don't hobble such efforts. — Objectivesea (talk) 14:53, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as WP:Too soon. This early career academic does not pass WP:Prof on basis of cites in GS. Eligibility for WP:Prof is too slender. and would be only a technical pass of this guideline. No prospect of WP:GNG. Investment of considerable good-faith efforts in originating and improving the BLP is worthy and welcome, but does not contribute to notability.

 * Delete Cannot see that Griffiths work has attracted either sufficient scholarly or general media attention to pass notability, at least, at this point in her career.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:25, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
