I don't think that this subject quite makes the cut. None of the provided sources are independent, and searching online all I found were some public letters that Wüstenberg co-signed. Most damning, however, is that Wüstenberg is only an assistant professor, with a Google-scholar h-index of 6, which is too low to meet WP:NACADEMIC for political science. I'm skeptical of the article's claim that Wüstenberg is "a leader in uniting the emerging field of memory studies", as a Scholar search for "memory studies" returns relevant results dating back to the 90s with hundreds of citations each (in some cases, thousands). signed,Rosguill talk 22:11, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Probably too soon. Only one significant book. Journal articles & articles in collections do not seem all that important. But h index is totally irrelevant in the humanities and in those fields of social science where people publish like the humanities. It only works in fields of higher citation density.

 * Weak delete. I found and added to the article three reviews and two award shortlists for her book. If there were another book with a similar reception I'd switch to keep. But it's one book, not enough by itself for WP:AUTHOR, and the other material doesn't appear to rise to the level of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:44, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I too would have voted keep, but her h-index is too low, and she is not a member of any societies. If she would have been a member or fellow of the German Academy of Sciences then the h-index might be overlooked, but as its stands, too soon and delete applies.--Biografer (talk) 19:09, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. 103 cites on GS not remotely enough to pass WP:Prof. Try again in ten years. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:42, 26 May 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete per DavidEppstein's rationale. Looks like classic case of WP:TOOSOON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
