Majeda Awawdeh

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable business woman / educator. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Promotional piece from upe spammer. Overplays her achievements. Misrepresents sources. "She is best known for her research alongside John Sweller for studying an influential theory of Cognitive Load." Sourced to a primary source that says she completed a phd supervised by Sweller. Blatant misrepresentation of the facts. Primary source makes no claim that she is known for that. Claiming alongside Sweller is puffing up. Running a Global Education Academy sounds fancy. What is is in reality is a local tutoring business. "Following her passion for teaching and business, Majeda established ..." spam alert. Notable publications? A book that hadn't been released. Look at the cover of that book. Photo from the same shoot as seen on Wikipedia. Same again for her official website. Photo credit claimed as own work by the creator of this spam. Looking at the sources supplied, mostly primary. Another notable publication? "Paper presented in the annual Cognitive Load Theory Conference." Source ? A paper predating this presentation by three years. St George & Sutherland Shire Leader has an advertorial piece and thats as close to independent as anything gets. Page makes the claim "Upon completing her degree, she was offered a job at Educational Assessment Australia (EAA) which is one of the business arms of UNSW, as a project manager. She managed and developed the Mathematics ICAS papers (International Competition and Assessment for Schools) for 5 years." Source ? A job advertising board that my browser warns me about. Simply no. Prod declined by User:Espresso Addict because she should apparently be judged by WP:PROF. I can't see how any part of that applies. Her highest cited publication? 6? Which other part of PROF appies? duffbeerforme (talk) 15:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. I think the suggestion of evaluating according to WP:PROF is the correct one but I don't see any evidence that she passes (Google Scholar finds only one publication each under the names Majeda Khateeb and Majeda Awawdeh, with barely any citations). In addition, wording like "Global Education Academy is also known for their unique programme" is quite promotional. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:00, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO and WP:PROF. I can't find any independent sources about her, the St George & Sutherland Shire article is as good as it gets. She did win one of the Telstra small business prizes last year but there is no coverage of it other than Telstra's website. She's also mentioned in an article about her husband who was convicted of a major crime, but only in passing, and it's not notable. Deus et lex (talk) 00:32, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Little sign of WP:NPROF C1, nor of the other NPROF criteria.  Subject looks plausible to eventually pass WP:NAUTHOR, but as of yet WP:TOOSOON. Russ Woodroofe (talk)
 * Delete. Wishing Dr. Awawdeh well in her career. It looks like Israeli students have lost and Australian students have gained a good math teacher. Not notable for Wikipedia at this time. gidonb (talk) 07:56, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
