Ilana Belmaker

dubious notability, virtually no hits on Google Scholar, created by an SPA with an interest in promoting this individual  F ASTILY   05:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete This article is not clearly notable in my opinion, and I think that the argument that scientific merit is limited is also valid as stated; there are many other candidates for similar articles who could be considered more notable. In addition, looking into the article history the article is clearly closely associated with the subject, and was created by User:אור פ, who later also removed a tag from the article "Ilana Belmaker" stating that the article is too closely associated with the subject at 16:01, 10 August 2021, which I think is clear evidence that this user is, indeed, clearly associated with the subject. Nothing on the talk page. the user does appear to have a history of conflicts of interest and articles which do not fulfill Wikipedia's standards. User talk:אור פ There are very few citations for most of the content, and the citations that do exist are entirely her published papers with no news articles or significant coverage from external sources to the journal. If this individual is notable, there are likely many thousands of people with similar levels of published work who would also be considered as such. Spiralwidget (talk) 10:22, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Leaning delete, seems to be a published author, unsure how notable these publications are. Not sure what her notability factor is. Oaktree b (talk) 15:57, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. The subject has one fairly highly cited paper under the name Elaine Belmaker, and there might also be other material available under this or other names. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:43, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. 45 hits in Google Scholar, 39 hits in PubMed, article in The Lancet. this is not notable. I'm not a single-purpose account, I write articles about Israeli people, and because of The unpleasant attitude I received, I prefer to invest my time in Hebrew Wikipedia. I don't know Ilana Belmaker, I'm not associated with the subject. there are likely many thousands of people with similar levels of published work who would also be considered notable - Please write an article about them. if she is not notable, I don't know who is, I get the feeling that you have something personal against articles about Israelis in the English Wikipedia. it seems racism, our even worst. אור פ (talk) 15:31, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * No, most of the ones that come up in AFD have been of questionable notability. Not just anyone gets an article here, we don't really care what social/economic/ethnic background they have, they must pass the notability bar here. Oaktree b (talk) 13:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Please see here about a British Jew that was kept. Oaktree b (talk) 13:55, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It is unusual for anyone to pass WP:PROF, our notability guideline for academics, when they are an associate, rather than a full, professor, so holding the subject to similar standards is far from racism. It is also unusual for such people in English-speaking countries to take the title "Prof.". Is that different in Israel? Rather than accuse people of racism it would be best for you to concentrate on the requirements of WP:PROF, where the most common reason for passing depends on the number of citations from others to articles, rather than the number of articles published which is what your previous post concentrated on.

 * Delete All (or most) sources used in the article are papers she authored, so are not reliable. All I see (using the various Google services above)are papers she's published, but nothing about her as a person. I'm unable to access either Scopus or Web of Science to judge her citation factor. Nothing in GNews, the NYT or JStor, I would have liked to have seen one mass media piece about her or at least interviews. It seems that at best she's been a mid-level government functionary and a university professor. Oaktree b (talk) 15:51, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. her is some mass media piece about her or at least interviews: , and here is another article  אור פ (talk) 10:20, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment.not a single articles is about her, there are newspapers articles about incidents in Israel's medicine, she is interviewed in small part of the articles along with other interviewers and the authors descriptions of the incidents, she isn't in the center of the intreviews. As for the last item, its an articles she co-authored in the journal הרפואה (the medicine) - a very low quality journal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.102.204.53 (talk) 11:59, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not have enough independent coverage and does not pass WP:PROF. — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 15:45, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
