 * Strong keep She is a VERY notable historian especially in Qing dynasty studies, and the virtual founder of the American school known as the New Qing History rose in the 1990s. --Evecurid (talk) 01:47, 26 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep The above editor is biased because they have only edited in areas regarding Asian history. Yet, surprisingly, they are correct. Passes criteria 1 "has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources" and 3 "has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association". She meets crit 1 because she is considered to be a "seminal figure of New Qing History" . Meets crit 3 because she may be or may have been the President of the Association of Asian Studies . --Mr. Guye (talk) 02:09, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 * After consulting the sources you've linked, I agree with you that this article is worth keeping, however it's important that these sources (or other appropriate sources) be cited in the article. As it exists right now, there's no evidence that Rawski is notable--the presence of supporting information elsewhere on the internet is meaningless if it's not cited in the article, correct?

 * In this case, you should simply request more sources to be cited rather than asking for deletion. At least you should remove the deletion template now. --Evecurid (talk) 02:26, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've removed the deletion and notability templates but I have left the BLP request for citation template. I really do appreciate the work you've put into this article and I look forward to seeing this article more fully cited so the notability of the subject will no longer be in question.
