Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Marina Bosi

In the field of Audio Engineering, Prof. Bosi is notable as one of the early women engineers in a formerly almost entirely male profession. (You can learn more about her career in the interview published in the October 1998 issue of "Mix" magazine and available online here: http://www.mediaandmarketing.com/13Writer/Interviews/MIX.Marina_Bosi.html.)  She holds US Patents 5,848,391 "Method subband of coding and decoding audio signals using variable length windows" and 5,890,106 "Analysis-/synthesis-filtering system with efficient oddly-stacked singleband filter bank using time-domain aliasing cancellation"  (Search by patent number at http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/index.html for details.)

Other notable facts from her biography are that she was president of the Audio Engineering Society, the worldwide professional society of audio engineering (like the IEEE for that field -- being President is a big deal; see the 29 minute video interview of Prof. Bosi as part of the AES Oral History project cited in the Wiki page for insights into the early days of being a woman in audio) and was the Editor of the AAC standard in MPEG-2 (AAC is still the core general audio tool in MPEG-4 and widely used worldwide.  The following article is the article cited in the bibliography (p. 198) to the standard document itself: M. Bosi, K. Brandenburg, S. Quackenbush, L. Fielder, K. Akagiri, H. Fuchs, M. Dietz, J. Herre, G. Davidson, Y. Oikawa, "ISO/IEC MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding", Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Vol. 45, No. 10, pp. 789-814, October 1997 ).

Prof. Bosi has also been affiliated with Stanford University since 1988 where she has been teaching digital audio coding since the 1990s. (Her textbook, still the only textbook out there actually teaching how to build an audio coder, was an outgrowth of the course at Stanford. See the wiki page for a cite to it.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rich Goldberg (talk • contribs) 15:20, 31 March 2015‎
 * This all sounds very compelling, but do you have any independent reliable sources with which to back this information up? That's how we determine the subject's notability. Sam Walton (talk) 15:22, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean by independent, reliable sources? You can see the Oral History video compiled by the AES; find her listed on Stanford's web pages; or read the articles, book, patents she wrote.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rich Goldberg (talk • contribs) 15:27, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The reliable sources link should be helpful for what we consider reliable. As for independent, we're looking for sources written by other people. That would include things like journalists reporting on her, published books talking about her, that kind of thing. Sam Walton (talk) 15:30, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Her textbook is published by Springer (not self-published). The Oral History videos were created by the Audio Engineering Society historians. Also, an interesting published book talking about her (among many others) is "MP3: The Meaning of a Format" by Jonathan Sterne (Duke University Press, 2012) which on p. 295 summarizes her career as: "Bosi was an early employee of Digidesign - which built equipment to allow computers to be used in recording studios.  She was also the first woman engineer at Dolby, where she worked on their AC-3 audio standard (which includes perceptual coding).  She worked at MPEG during the 1990s in a number of capacities, and served as editor for the MPEG-2 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) standard, a successor to MP3."  (You can find the excerpt by searching for her name on the Duke University Press webpage for the book: https://www.dukeupress.edu/mp3  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rich Goldberg (talk • contribs) 16:03, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * These sources should be written by other people, not just published by other people, so her own books don't qualify. That book sounds promising, though one source isn't really enough, do you know of others? Sam Walton (talk) 16:05, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I've reached out to her and she is going to send me info about interviews of her done by the IEEE, MPEG, and by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. When I get the cites, I'll post them here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rich Goldberg (talk • contribs) 18:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * In addition to the book about MP3 by Jonathan Sterne, here are additional items she provided me with:

- Article about Prof. Bosi in the October 1998 issue of "Mix" magazine and available online here: http://www.mediaandmarketing.com/13Writer/Interviews/MIX.Marina_Bosi.html - Prof. Bosi's inclusion (on p. 13) in the March 2013 issue of ISO Focus (Magazine of the Intl. Organization of Standardization) in the Special Report on "Inspirational Women Leading the way for change" available at www.iso.org/iso/livelinkgetfile-isocs?nodeid=16280698 - Article about Prof. Bosi in the CorrierEconomia (Business section of Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera) on July 16, 2007 by Andrea Lawandel entitled "Il successo dell'Mp3? La canzone di Marina". (I have a photocopy of the article but couldn't find it online.)
 * The first link, an interview is... alright, the second is an article written by her, not about her, and the last might be good if it's a newspaper article about her. Is the last one about her or by her? Sam Walton (talk) 22:22, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
