 * Delete - No evidence of reliable sources to validate notability. A university instructor with 14 co-authored publications (listed in article as references) is insufficient. Canuckle (talk) 19:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Over 500 Google Scholar Citations. Others in the field have called her work a "landmark in diatomic spectral analysis". One of the inventors of the Morse/Long-range potential. Essentially all properties of the molecule Dilithium listed in reference tables such as in the CRC Handbook on Chemistry and Physics are values determined in her papers.

 * Delete. Only three papers with citation counts that are even in double digits in Google scholar, well below threshold for WP:PROF in a high-citation subject, and no other evidence of notability is apparent. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:26, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, single digit h-index. Also, no analysis of the person in secondary sources, a usual requirement for articles. Abductive  (reasoning) 23:45, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
