In response to questions about notability: I picked her off a list of most-cited scientists who do not have a Wikipedia article =

[edit]

I am not sure how notability got questioned so fast, but this article was created in response to the request here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/Thomson-Reuters_most_cited_scientists#Missing_woman_scientists and it's my opinion that a doctor with 132 journal articles in an advanced area of medicine is notable, whether *I* exactly understand them all or not.

more on notability

[edit]

This woman was one of the chairs of a 2005 American Heart Association guideline update for treating chronic heart failure. (http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/112/12/e154.short)

Her journal articles have been cited almost 4000 times in the journal articles of other authors. I think that's notable; I just would be hard put to explain exactly what it *is* ;) especially since I have no idea what the practice guideline was before it was updated. I am way out of my field (IT) trying to help out. But I know notable when I see it. Elinruby (talk) 10:53, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability questioned again; please do not delete this article -- the lady is notable even if *I* cannot explain why exactly

[edit]

I created this article because it's on the list of "please help out by seeing that these highly-cited female scientists have pages" on the community portal. Unfortunately I don't have much background in cardiology, which is why I flagged it as needing attention from an expert. She chaired the committee that drew up the guidelines for heart transplants failure (see notes on talk page). I am pretty damn sure that's notable. Her journal articles have been cited thousands of times, if you check scholar.google.com. I just myself don't think I can explain her contributions very well. If you have any suggestions on how to recruit someone who can, I am all ears. Meanwhile, no, I do not think the article should be deleted by the right hand of Wikipedia -- the left hand seems to think that one should exist. Me, I am just a Wikignome who tries to help out.

I *did* add it to the to-do list of the cardiology task force this time; which apparently does not happen automatically when you flag an article. Who knows how active they are, but maybe that will do something.

I think we should be all good. Anyone could renominate any article for deletion, but this one clearly passes now and isn't nominated for anything at the moment. I took off the notability and PROD tags, leaving only the expert tag since I'm not an expert. EricEnfermero (Talk) 01:37, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
