Questionably notable and improvable with its current version and the best search links I found was only this, this, this and this and unfortunately this article hasn't changed much since starting in June 2007. Notifying author, tagger and also  who likes to be informed of AfDs for this subject. SwisterTwister  talk  07:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've added more references to show notability but it does need a good edit. I'll try and get to it over the next week.  She has quite a few articles in The Conversation which are commissioned but as they are not comments from third parties I assume that they hold less sway. The Sydney Morning Herald quotes her quite regularly on any maternity related matter. Gillyweed (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. meets WP:PROF on 2 major criteria, author of a principal textbook in the field. Expert in her subject: Worldcat shows publications of hers with 232 (in BMJ), 108, etc. citations. Even in biomedicine, a2 papers with over 100 has always been considered sufficient (I consider the consensus has been that   one such paper sufficient, but a few  people at such discussions think it should be 2).   As for GNG, meeting WP:PROF is explictly an alternative, but she probably meets the GNG also.  We have in the past had considerable skepticism about articles on faculty in subjects traditionally dominated by women. I've been trying to fight this for eight years now, and it's time it were over. Maybe we can start restoring some of the articles about notable professors of home economics and nursing that were deleted in earlier years.  DGG ( talk ) 16:29, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
