 * Keep. The article has been completely overhauled and the subject has received enough significant coverage to warrant an article. There's not a lot of media fuss about data scientists, but I believe the Wired article and her interview in This is Statistics demonstrate that she meets the basic criteria of WP:BIO. She also meets WP:NACADEMIC#7 as someone who has had "a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." As a data scientist, she has worked for Etsy, Stitch Fix, has co-authored papers with Jeff Leek, and hosts a popular podcast with Roger Peng. She has also given a number of keynote presentations at data science conferences. gobonobo  + c 02:22, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm sorry I missed the original deletion discussion, where I think I could have made some of the (substantial!) improvements that have been made in this version. As User:Gobonobo says, this page now meets the general definition of notability based on the significant coverage in media such as Wired and VentureBeat. Parker also meets the notability criteria for academics, based both on her highly-cited work (she is third author on both the sva R package (198 citations) and the associated paper (1638 citations), and has several first-author papers as well) and her impact outside academia. She and her podcast co-host, Roger Peng, gave the closing keynote at rstudio::conf in 2020, which they were invited to do based on the enormous impact of their podcast. Parker has given many more keynote addresses about her Opinionated Analysis Development work, including at the International Conference on Teaching Statistics, in Kyoto in 2018. I don't know that this counts toward her notability yet because it is not verified in third-party sources, but she recently left her job at StitchFix to become a data scientist on the Biden campaign (her LinkedIn and Twitter do reflect this job change).

 * Keep Notability is tricky when dealing with people who don't usually get a lot of mainstream coverage, but I think her StitchFix citations hit general notability and, as AmeliaMN says above WP:NACADEMIC#7 can apply. Jessamyn (talk) 15:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
