Simply building an airplane with help at an early age isn't notable. Additionally, Stephen Hawking only cited her twice. See https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sabrina-pasterski-physics-girl/ Her discoveries in physics aren't widely cited. Chris3991m (talk) 15:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep: Indeed, the subject isn't going to clear WP:PROF with her resume to date, and indeed, building an airplane at a young age isn't of itself notable. But what the nom seems to be ignoring is the fundamental notability question: does the subject have enough significant coverage in multiple reliable sources to pass the GNG?  I think she does, whether or not her CV twigs any SNGs.   Ravenswing    17:35, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not fully convinced, but I did add some balance to the article. Chris3991m (talk) 19:46, 6 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep: Since the last attempt to delete this page, it has had over 1 Million page views, has been translated into 10 additional languages around the world, with daily page views in English reaching 85,000 on a good day. Besides that, significant coverage in multiple reliable sources to pass GNG. Her first book was apparently launched into orbit by Space X in February and Space Israel will land it on the Moon next week along with a digital copy of the entire Wikipedia site as it existed in mid-December 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.139.88 (talk) 04:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Any sources? You seem to have a WP:COI with Sabrina's Wikipedia page... Chris3991m (talk) 11:48, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: The IP's edited the page a couple times, but what leads you to conclude there's a COI in play?   Ravenswing   18:41, 8 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Most of this is CV stuff and primary sources. However, there are a few sources that likely qualify as reliable sources, though the depth-of-coverage piece is questionable. The Chicago Tribune articles certainly meets the criteria for a reliable source counting toward notability. The multiple "Forbes Under 30" listings and profile help, but all amount to a few sentences each. The Ozy article is mostly a restating of the Snopes page that covered the original viral news item. The article could use some cleanup, toning down the promotional gushing, but probably enough here to meet WP:BIO. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 15:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep At a minimum she passes WP:GNG with the Trib and 30 under 30s, maybe some other higher forms of notability too.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:39, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Trending scientist, awards, plenty of notability showing sources, so this is a keep. THEFlint Shrubwood (talk) 03:14, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

I don't see a reason stated for why this page is slated for deletion. Ms. Paterski seems like a rising intellectual star, and someone whose page I would love to share with our daughter as an inspiration for what girls can do. I hope we can look forward to doing that on Wikipedia for a long time to come. Matthew.schnupp (talk) 19:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC) Matthew.schnupp
