Zainab Usman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NACADEMIC, WP:NAUTHOR, WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Her h-index is 4. Almost all of the references are examples of her writing in various publications. The only in-depth coverage is ref#2 which is primarily a piece written by Usman but has an introduction to her as author by Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai.

Note that the article was written by a suspected WP:UPE who has subsequently been blocked for sockpuppetry. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:07, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

 * del absolutely no independent indication of notability.Staszek Lem (talk) 16:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Her Google Scholar citation counts are not as bad as I was expecting: h-index=4, in this case, means four publications with double-digit citations. But it's still not good enough for WP:PROF, I found no reviews of her book, and there is no other claim of notability in the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:52, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm not seeing any evidence of notabilty under WP:NPROF or WP:AUTHOR. Maybe WP:TOOSOON. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:43, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
