Wei Niu

No evidence of notability. Not yet a prof and no refs for notability. Probably too early in her career  Velella  Velella Talk 04:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete for now. Some high GS cites with a large author list in a very high cited field. Not clear how much contribution the subject made. WP:Too Soon. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:57, 17 March 2016 (UTC).
 * Weak delete. Looking at the papers in Google scholar listing "Wei Niu" as first author, "Benzene-Free Synthesis of Adipic Acid" (174 citations) and "Microbial synthesis of the energetic material precursor 1, 2, 4-butanetriol" (88 citations) seem to be hers but some others don't. There's also a geneticist at Yale and a computer scientist at UCSB with the same name, at least. Given this, although she seems on a promising career track, the case for WP:PROF looks tenuous, and there seems nothing else. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:18, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
