 * – ( View AfD View log )

The subject has requested its deletion. I am bringing to AfD as she clearly passes WP:NPROF. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:26, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 * comment where exactly did the subject request deletion? Do you have any evidence of that? --hroest 18:48, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , after I tweeted the article she asked me to delete it via PM. I am more than happy to email any evidence neccessary. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:49, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , haha we both got usernames wrong. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:50, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * haha, yes. I think the general procedure would be to send an email to WP:OTRS in a case like this with the screenshot attached. However, I am not sure this is strictly necessary in this case since you are an admin. PS: greetings fellow Canadian. --hroest 19:00, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * delete once I subtract the textbook citations (which has a ton of authors, it is unclear how substantial her contribution to this was) from her GS, there are only about 4k citations left, making her a slightly-above average professor that is just hovering at the bar of passing WP:NPROF. Given that the subject requested deletion, I think we can apply WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE according to Deletion of BLPs of relatively unknown subjects. --hroest 18:46, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * PS: following up, I just received a somewhat aggressive email from her, again asking for deletion of the article. --hroest 01:46, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , I told her it would take 7 days, so I'm sorry she sent that. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:04, 14 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. I think she does pass WP:PROF through the citations to her publications and maybe also through Fellowship in the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. But the case is borderline enough that I think we should respect the WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE rather than overriding it. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:23, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Luckhart is not so notable in her field that if we lack an article on her people will think we are missing one of the truly top people in the field being covered. That is the level she would need to be at to overcome the fact she does not want an article on her. For the record I would also support deletion at subject request of someone who was a president of a state university that was not a top ranked public research institution, especially if the coverage from their time in that position in the news was almost all hyper local. A named chair who does not want an article on themself I would also support deleting.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
