I have a few things to say about this. 1. This seems to be written by someone with a close connection to this person possibly. 2. The one reference link is now dead, and looking online, I cannot find a reliable source pointing to this person. 3. This article is about a living person, and while the notability is (I believe) clearly stated in the article, the lack of sources able to back up the claims is next to nothing based on my quick scan on Google.

As, again I am somewhat new to AfD's, but this article is setting off a lot of red flags in my mind over WP:BLP, and a few guidelines in WP:DP. Zekerocks11 (talk) 17:41, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:Prof, at least on basis, of stunning citations in GS. I see nearly 6000 sources. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC).

 * Could you help point me to some of these sources that you saw? I only ask this because I couldn't find any relevant information when I looked so I figure I'm looking for sources wrong. Zekerocks11 (talk) 12:58, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I think her OBE suggests she likely meets the notability threshold. Thriley (talk) 16:50, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * OBE is generally insufficient by itself. Too many people get them for us to consider them all notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. The citation counts on the Google Scholar profile linked above are enough to convince me of WP:PROF. (Zekerocks11: click on each citation number in this link for a list of publications by others that refer to each of Sell's works.) —David Eppstein (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
