Not notable, per WP:1E. A bright young doctor, and immediate press coverage of her sad death in an avalanche, but no lasting significance. Perhaps she and Victor Fedorov (doctor) could redirect to an article on the avalanche, or a list entry at the bottom of List of avalanches by death toll, or a section on it within the Lake Louise, Alberta article or similar, but the article writes of her as a medic (cause of death not mentioned in lead) and in terms of her career it was  WP:TOO SOON which sadly here means never.

 * Comment Was this not deleted recently, doctor on pathways program, Massachusetts, non-notable, 6-9 months ago maybe.  scope_creep Talk  12:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete It a pretty resume that sadly wasn't finished for her but what's the deal with listing awards from high school and undergrad? None of this contributes to notability... NPROF says "Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied." her co-authorships don't appear to pass the bar alone.

 * Delete and/or redirect per nomination. Comment that her highly cited papers have an especially large number of authors, also that we've deleted medical doctors with generally comparable citation records. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 19:34, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Keep: The topic has been covered in various leading publications including BBC, New Jersey Hills Media Group, WKXW, WFXT, CBC News, The Philadelphia Inquirer and clearly meets the Notability (doctors), WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV Siddhesh.gaikwad (talk) 15:58, 20 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment: I did well research before creating article about an American physician, who co-founded the pathways program which encourages medical residents to use scientific methodology to investigate, diagnose, and cure unexplained illiness, for which she was admired so much and regarded as "young rising star" by Massachusetts General Hospital. A detailed article about the pathways programe and how well it has been received so far can be found here(12).


 * She had specialized in tumor suppression and molecular biology. Her research on cancer has been mentioned in government and universities' websites such as 123 45


 * She co-wrote a number of books, some of which include Association of the vitamin D metabolism gene CYP27B1 with type 1 diabetes, Tumor suppression by miR-26 overrides potential oncogenic activity in intestinal tumorigenesis Precise let-7 expression levels balance organ regeneration against tumor suppression, An essential mesenchymal function for miR-143/145 in intestinal epithelial regeneration


 * She was one of 40 students across the country to win the Gates Cambridge Scholarship. Being a medical student myself, I know how important & difficult it is to earn their scholarship. I hope these information would help.


 * I think the topic is suitable for Wikipedia and meets the Notability (doctors), WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siddhesh.gaikwad (talk • contribs) 16:18, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. I grieve that this promising young research physician died, but Wikipedia is not here to memorialize people who do not otherwise meet the notability requirements. We do not have articles on people just because they die in avalanches. Requirements for scientists are not met by student or early career awards or by being one of many authors on papers done while a student. Coverage of the combination of the two does not give notability. As a resident physician she was still in training. It is likely she would have made significant contributions to her field had she lived and it is sad that she did not live to do so. StarryGrandma (talk) 17:45, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - agree with above comments. I acknowledged her contributions but her work is not only short-lived and not too significant. I am sorry she died young but Wikipedia is not an obituary - Jay (talk) 06:29, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
