Emily Alemika
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet the criteria for WP:PROF despite the lead defining her as an educator and does not meet the GNG criteria. the article also says she practises human rights law but there are no mentions of any cases in which she has been involved. it also says she mentors others but there is no proof description of her mentoring in this article. there are claims that she served on a senate committee but the only reference to this is in a primary source and when I try to find a reference about this committee on the web I draw a blank all excepting this person's biography here and there. The committee is not mentioned on the senate web site here. The sources include 1 puff piece in a Nigerian magazine and 1 interview written in The Guardian rewritten word for word in latestnigeriannews and as per WP:INTERVIEW this kind of interview where the journalist poses no questions at all and just prints what the subject says about herself are not useful in proving notability as it is a primary source as such. 1 source solely about her husband. 1 source that simply mentions that she and 16 other people were promoted from reader to professor. The rest of the sources are just proof that she has been invited to speak at various conferences and as such these are primary sources. So in reality there is one secondary source which is a puff piece in a style lifestyle magazine. For me this means that she does not meet GNG. Domdeparis (talk) 10:02, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG. --EC Racing (talk) 21:16, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: Google Scholar brings up results to meet WP:PROF. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 08:27, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You are probably referring to her husband, who was also a professor in the same university, she is not on Google scholar, which is a sign of non-notability to me. No matter the digital divide in Africa, if you have done research in reputable journals that is making waves, you will definitely have scholarly mentions from Google scholar. Academic notability is very easy to determine, because it is hardly affected by bias. Darreg (talk) 15:28, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Please could you strike-through your vote if you have changed your mind on the notability of the subject? This will make consensus clearer and more obvious for the closing admin. Or do you still consider the subject notable? Darreg (talk) 16:37, 27 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I initially wanted to vote keep, until I discovered that Emily Alemika was different from Etannibi Alemika (who is actually her husband and passes both WP:GNG and WP:SCHOLAR). Per WP:NOTINHERITED it has no basis in determining the notability of her, if there was an article for Etannibi Alemika, I would have suggested this article be summarized to a section in it, but that is not the case so I'm still concluding my findings on her. Presenting leaning towards deletion though. Darreg (talk) 15:26, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * She is actually on google scholar here but there are very few citations of her work and most are works by her husband or others where she appears as co-author. There is only one paper that she is the sole author of that has been cited 3 times. I am not really sure if this is enough to be considered as "widely cited" I must admit I am not really au fait with google scholar. Domdeparis (talk) 16:48, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete she does not appear to be notable as an academic. Her husband does appear to be notable, so I would hope this discussion causes someone to create an article on him.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:22, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Well I decided to be bold, so I created the article on Etannibi Alemika. It needs a lot of work, but it has two sources, although I know there are more.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:28, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
