 * – ( View AfD View log )

Has been in CAT:NN for 12 years, and hopefully we can now answer the question hanging over it. There are indications towards WP:PROF and WP:GNG, but I couldn't find the sources to be sure of it. See also Talk:Françoise Robin for comments there. Boleyn (talk) 14:10, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. She is also a literary translator. The corresponding article in the French Wikipedia is longer. fr:Françoise Robin (tibétologue) Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't read French well so I'm not sure whether her publications would help meet WP:ACADEMIC. I moved them to Talk:Françoise_Robin when I cleaned the article. Would benefit from someone familiar with her field, and/or who reads French better. Star   Mississippi  16:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - she seems to be regularly interview/cited for news about Tibet in (esp. francophone) media, which would indicate to me that she has a degree of notability as an expert in her field (or at least that it would be worth having an article on someone who seems to be a frequently cited figure in the news). Like, there's: Tibetan director 'injured in Chinese police custody', Françoise Robin: «il y a une sorte de désespoir riant au Tibet», Violences sexuelles en Asie orientale : la difficile protection des droits des femmes, La sinisation du Tibet se poursuit, Tibet : la conversion forcée des agriculteurs en ouvriers, Penpa Tsering dans la délicate position du rassembleur des Tibétains, French police clear 600 Tibetan migrants from camp outside Paris, etc... She also seems to have taken part of at least one inter-parliamentary friendship group rapport for the French Senate and there's this open letter she co-wrote in Libération that could maybe be used to add some more content to the article?

 * Keep - She gave the keynote address at the 2014 Himalayan Studies Conference at Yale University. That certainly suggests she's considered a significant academic in her field. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 03:44, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments. Being G Sec of the IATS also seems like an indicator of notability. Furius (talk) 13:12, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Remove nomination per all excellent comments above, Boleyn (talk) 21:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
