Trang Thach Hickman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unfortunately all this article achieves is an announcement of Ms. Thach Hickman's existence and brief professional background, violating WP:RESUME, WP:PROMOTION, and WP:EXIST. The two sources currently in the article are brief profiles explaining her possibly unique status as a woman Mormon doctor, but those are from the Mormon media and may not qualify for the significant coverage rule at WP:SIGCOV. I can find no other reliable notice beyond a few industry and professional listings. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 13:43, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I have to object to the line "her possibly unique status as a woman Mormon doctor". A- this is a problematic way to refer to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. B- there have been women physicians who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the 19th-century, such as Ellen Shipp and Emma Penrose. BYU named residence halls after such women over 60 years ago. Hickman is at the start of her career. She may at some point be notable, but not yet. On the sources about religion and science, being held up as an example of someone who sees these are coexisting in an article written by someone else is not the way to notability. What we would have to see is Hickman writing articles or books about the subject and then having 3rd party coverage of her published work on the subject. I want to include this article, but Hickman is a professional at the start of her career, she is not yet at the level of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:47, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry but those two articles are written in a fashion indicating that the authors think she is unique, and one is written by an entity called Mormon Women Project. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520</b> (Talk&#124;Contribs) 03:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete The sources appear rather insular, and we have no means of gauging their reliability, so they don't contribute to a case for wiki-notability. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SOAP. We are a non-religious charity. Any insertion of proselytism would endanger our own, specific tax-exempt status. This appears to be a very ordinary scholar at the beginning of her career. Virtually all Mormons engage in missionary work, so we'd have to have an article about each of the millions of LDS members if we didn't stop this practice. Bearian (talk) 01:32, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Fails WP:GNG. Rollidan (talk) 23:56, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
