Hey, I added the deletion thought, this post has not been touched in years. I know teachers that have been on television and have written a book or two. They do not have a wikipedia page, and it is unnecessary for this person to have one.

 * Keep The above text was added to the previous AfD from ten years ago. Nominator is a new user whose account is approximately two days old.  I was willing to treat this as a good-faith nomination and cleaned it up appropriately, but to me the subject appears to clearly meet the notability standards of today.   If you wish to nominate further articles, I recommend following the procedures at WP:AFDHOWTO more closely, after a careful perusal of Wikipedia's policies and procedures.  -- Finngall   talk  23:04, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

My account is not 2 days old. I started becoming a lot more active 2 days ago, but before that i was only on once or twice a week to edit a new article that ended up getting deleted. Nate Rybner 23:20, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I apologize. The account is a month old.  I was thrown off by there being only two days' worth of undeleted edits.  -- Finngall   talk  23:27, 2 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - regardless of how old the user's account is, the subject is clearly noticeable - she has written a couple of novels and is the founder of a research institute. This article could definitely use some cleanup, the case is inconsistent and it doesn't always read like an encyclopedia article should. Sheepythemouse (talk) 23:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Its cool!

 * Keep - She is a very notable figure, and increasingly more so with her Data + Society Institute. She won at least one major award, from the American Sociological Association's relevant section. This article has justifiably been around for many years. Bellagio99 (talk) 02:17, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
