Seems to be an obituary, non-notable, no sources. Intelligentsium (talk) 01:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with haste, no sources, reads like obit. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep A simple Google scholar search and a WorldCat library search reveal her articles to be often-cited and her books very widely held. Definitely meets WP:PROF on several counts, including winning the highest award from her professional association and chairing her department. Here's a nice newspaper feature if you want to know what she looked like, yes she died of cancer in January: http://archives.starbulletin.com/2007/01/13/features/story01.html. I am surprised anyone would claim she is not notable as she meets so many different criteria. Drawn Some (talk) 03:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:SOFIXIT. I am surprised anyone would make such a crappy article for someone who meets so many different criteria. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 03:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The page was nominated 15 minutes after it was created. I'm completely unsurprised that this WP:BITEy behavior caused its creator to take a break from improving it. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:45, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article documents claims that look likely to satisfy WP:PROF #1 (several books and many articles, reasonably cited in Google scholar), #2 (Distinguished Economic Botanist Award), #3 (Fellow of Linnean Society), #6 (President International Society for Ethnopharmacology), and #8 (editor-in-chief of Economic Botany). Any one of these would be enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:43, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As noted by David Eppstein, meets WP:PROF criterion #8 (editor-in-chief of established journal). Economic botany is held by more than 750 major libraries worldwide according to WorldCat. Very likely meets other criteria as well.--Eric Yurken (talk) 01:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
