 * Keep per WP:BASIC - she is cited in the news as an expert by multiple independent and reliable sources, including with in-depth coverage beyond her employment, e.g. UW Health says Midwest is in critical need of convalescent plasma (WKOW, January 2021, biographical information, expert opinion), 'I wasn’t sure there wasn’t any hope in sight': Milwaukee hospital workers reflect on one year since COVID-19 pandemic began (NBC4, March 2021, biographical information, expert opinion), Dane County leads state in COVID-19 vaccination, but racial disparities persist (Wisconsin State Journal, May 2021, also includes biographical, career information), Racial disparities heightened with COVID-19 crisis (Capital Times, May 2020, multiple paragraphs highlighting her experience and expert opinion), 'Black resilience' theme of this year's Juneteenth celebration (Wisconsin State Journal, June 2021, biographical and career information, parade marshal, expert opinion), Black women are five times as likely to die in childbirth. Here’s what that looks like in northeast Wisconsin. (Green Bay Gazette, July 15, 2021, several paragraphs), Wisconsin's New Epidemiologist Wants To Be A 'Listening Ear' For Statewide Community (NPR Wisconsin, May 2021, interview, "As Wisconsin's newly-named chief medical officer and state epidemiologist, Dr. Jasmine Zapata said she will use her experience as a physician [...]"), With Wisconsin Disparities in Mind, Researchers and Advocates Reimagine Health Care for Black Mothers (PBS Wisconsin, April, 2021, includes biographical and career information, e.g. "assistant professor and researcher at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health"), so there appears to be sufficient sourcing to support an article. Beccaynr (talk) 21:40, 23 September 2021 (UTC) There is also this academic work (co-authored) and a recent appearance on PBS News Hour (August 2021) as an expert, as well as this: Empty Cradles: Is stress to blame for preterm births? (Journal Sentinel, originally published August 2011, republished August 2021, biographical, education, significant coverage). Beccaynr (talk) 22:03, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Good work, Beccaynr. Please expand the article accordingly.   scope_creep Talk  09:29, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Please remember that this venue is WP:NOTCLEANUP. As the nominator, you have the same (or perhaps greater) obligation to improve the article. pburka (talk) 14:24, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I am happy to expand this article, and currently working on it - I usually tend to wait for at least one other participant !voting keep in an AfD discussion before I attempt WP:HEY, but with 's encouragement, I am going for it. Beccaynr (talk) 14:52, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with . The onus is not on an AfD voter to add those sources to the article. Many if not all of those sources could have been identified in a WP:BEFORE by the nominator. TJMSmith (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I also agree with, but had interpreted the request as specifically directed at me, and maybe informed by my general history at AfD, and/or maybe what I have posted in the Selected Work section of my userpage, or my self-identification as one of the editors known for behaving like dogs spotting squirrels. I also sometimes accept requests to help expand articles at my Talk page, and with the above feedback in mind, that seems like a better forum for future requests. I do review AfD to find articles to improve, and I apologize for how my enthusiasm for a wide-open field of squirrel contravened the general process. Beccaynr (talk) 02:05, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. No pass of this assistant prof of WP:Prof or WP:GNG. If it needs to be said that she served as a parade marshal then the bottom of the barrel has been reached. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:18, 25 September 2021 (UTC).
 * Comment per WP:HEY, I have not yet added all of the sources I found above, but in the course of my expansion of the article, I found and added more sources that further support WP:BASIC notability, including e.g. Madison pediatrician Jasmine Zapata kicks off Midwest 'Girls Empowerment Tour' (The Capital Times, 2018), Madison pediatrician, Hip Hop architect, UW professor team up for Kenyan girls fleeing abuse (The Capital Times, 2018). And from my view, her honor as a parade marshal in a Juneteenth celebration is worthy of mention, particularly in the context of the rest of the article and the themes of her career. Beccaynr (talk) 04:04, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY/WP:BASIC. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:07, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BASIC. Thank you to for the WP:HEY. TJMSmith (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Improvements, including multiple newspaper stories directly about her over a span of multiple years, demonstrate a pass of WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:44, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY passes WP:GNG now.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 04:02, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY. WP:SIGCOV is met thanks to the hard work by .4meter4 (talk) 23:59, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
