This article has been proposed for deletion, because it is a stub biography article and the only source is a broken link to the University of Notre Dame's website. Additionally, the article does not meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.60.96.153 (talk) 05:30, 23 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Nothing wrong with a stub biography - have to start somewhere. The article does need references. The UND link was dated and has been removed. The other external links, at U Pitt, are current, and have been confirmed. Subject is a prominent American sociologist. In addition to being the author of multiple books, she currently serves as the editor of the scholarly, peer-reviewed journal, Journal of World-Systems Research, an official journal of the American Sociological Association.

 * Keep. I added few links. She is a notable scholar, with several published books. That should make her pas WRITER/PROF test, I am pretty sure. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 16:16, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
