 *  Comment Keep Would you mind telling us exactly how she fails WP:ACADEMIC? A cursory search shows several highly cited articles and an h-index of 23 in Web of Science. Searching on Google Scholar you'll find those highly-cited articles, too. --Randykitty (talk) 19:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Full agreement with Randykitty. This meets several of the relevant notability guidelines and in addition to her academic achievements she heads up a prestigious medical support organisation and is a fellow of a highly pretigious academic institution. It is difficult to get a lot more notable in Wikipedia terms. The artlce is also a potential candidate for growth in an edit-a-thon organised by the Royal Society, a fact known to the nominator of this deletion before the AfD was issued .

 * Comment - I don't find her in Who's Who or Debrett's but I do note that she's a full professor (in the UK) and she seems to have had quite a lengthy career in academia. The nominator hasn't really provided any explanation why it should be deleted. Barney the barney barney (talk) 23:08, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This is a poor stub, but UK Professors are generally WP-notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. GS h-index of well over 20 passes WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC).


 * Keep same as Velella (just do simple search on JSTOR or Google Scholar ...)Christophe (talk) 16:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - a link is not a reason to delete. She seems to be notable enough.  Full Professor in the UK is pretty high up in academia. Bearian (talk) 22:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
