KEEP Kinsella's work has, I admit, been surprisingly little cited in the scholarly press, but the wide adoption of her theories and practices (including their impact on the creation of Common Core suggests to me that she is important. Working in education, it's hard to pass very long without someone citing her. She's widely taught in education programs. Her work in teaching vocabulary is globally influential. I'm sorry I'm not grabbing sources right now, but, well, you know. Honestly, that her article is still so short after two years says more about the number of K-12 educators who edit Wikipedia than I cared to learn. Thmazing (talk) 06:45, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:Prof with a GS h-index of somewhere around 10 in a well-cited field. Too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:51, 15 November 2013 (UTC).
 * That's all very well but Wikipedia needs verifiable sources. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:16, 15 November 2013 (UTC).
 * Sorry. Not a good time for me to engage in a discussion like this. Here are a couple thoughts on where to start looking. 1, 2, 3. Sorry for not being here more. A couple weeks ago and I would have already rewritten the article! Thmazing (talk) 22:39, 19 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. I also could find very little. As a matter of fact, a number of GS cites do not actually belong to this person, but to someone else of the same name at Dana–Farber Cancer Institute. Agricola44 (talk) 15:39, 19 November 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete for lack of documented evidence of the impact needed to pass WP:PROF. It doesn't have to be citations from other academic papers — but if she really is influential and widely taught, then we need reliable sources that show it. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:22, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - she's an adjunct, not even a F/T teacher. Bearian (talk) 22:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
