Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:ACAD. The equivalent article has just been deleted from German Wikipedia (I couldn't get at the reason). Ingratis (talk) 10:29, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I am the author of the article. We had a long discussion in the German Wiki, about the article and its relevance. I did not want to give up the article and worked on it during the deletion discussion. In the end I got caught in a revision trap and the article was deleted. Now I have revised it (first in english) and published it again. I hope that the article has now more encyclopedic relevance for wikipedia.

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. One authored book is unlikely to yield WP:NAUTHOR. I didn't find any book reviews (but searching in German might be more productive); I do find it pretty plausible that the subject will eventually meet that criterion.  A 2016 PhD is unlikely to meet WP:NPROF, and I see no evidence of academic impact as yet. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable individual.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:46, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG nor does she appear to meet WP:NAUTHOR. My search in Google Scholar found only 1 article with two citations and there's no evidence she meets any criteria at WP:NPROF. Papaursa (talk) 04:10, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
