:*Comment: I had to go back through the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail_Eskes&diff=1171363845&oldid=586419337 article's history] - apparently, she studies(d?) brain function after a stroke, specifically in relation to fatigue: [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003999399901168 Feb 1999], [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003999303003460 Nov 2003], [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1111/ijs.12557 June 2015]; and cognitive motor function: [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003999313006126 Dec 2013]. There also seems to be a lot of work on general cognitive function and with children: [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02206857 1990], [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S138824570500132X July 2005], [https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2009-12887-013 2009], [https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2010-17509-010 2010], [https://journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/Fulltext/2012/07000/Cerebrovascular_Reserve__The_Link_Between_Fitness.7.aspx July 2012], [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2015.00225/full Apr 2015] (There are a lot more - 10 pages minimum on [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C43&q=%22Gail+Eskes%22&btnG= Google Scholar].) When I searched her under "news" in Google, I got [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/10855443_Limb_activation_effects_in_hemispatial_neglect this paper] she was an author on. I got two returns on Internet Archive, both articles she co-authored.

:There was a lot of material removed from the article as unsourced, but it was inline sourced like an essay (author, year; no title, no URL). It looks like it was all WP:OR.

:She's an expert in her field for certain, and I did find some articles about her research implementation ([https://www.labnews.co.uk/article/2092226/online-games-and-brain-stimulation-offers-hope-for-combating-working-memory-decline 1], [https://www.qe2times.ca/retrain-the-brain-how-a-computer-game-is-helping-stroke-victims-recover-the-left-side-of-the-world-264 2], [https://entrevestor.com/home/entry/commercializing-cognitive-testing 3], [https://www.praxisauril.org.uk/news/news/therapeutic-games-and-brain-stimulation-mitigates-cognitive-decline-older-adults 4], [https://webmagazine.unitn.it/en/news/ateneo/114178/therapeutic-games-and-brain-stimulation-to-fight-cognitive-decline 5], [https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/giving-memory-a-lift-can-games-and-brain-stimulation-do-it 6], [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/brain-injury-goggles-dalhousie-1.4038194 7], [https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/mind-and-spirit/article-719592 8], [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/199709/the-brains-winter-blahs 9]; scanned, didn't do a thorough read through), but that's it. Everything else that returned is all her own material. I'm not finding much on just her. If the article were rewritten to focus on her research, would that be sufficient to keep it? (Would it be BLP then? Would it move to another type of article?) OIM20 (talk) 21:19, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

• Weak keep. I'm seeing several articles with hundreds of citations on Google Scholar, including some with the subject as first/last author, in what I believe to be a medium citation field. I think it is a marginal pass of WP:NPROF. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
• Keep due to [https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=AIxUrpIAAAAJ&hl=en citation record] meeting WP:NACADEMIC-C1. There is also some [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/brain-injury-goggles-dalhousie-1.4038194 media coverage of her research], but it's mainly the citations. --Mvqr (talk) 11:23, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
• Keep. Biomedicine is one home of big author, big citation papers, but with H41, I think this person pass NPROF. 128.252.154.1 (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
• Keep. Passes WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:41, 24 August 2023 (UTC).
• Keep - Thousands of citations on a few dozen of papers likely passes WP:NPROF. ~Kvng (talk) 13:22, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:PROF#C1. Strong citation record even for a high-citation field. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
• Keep with 19 papers that have 100+ citations this should be a clear keep and a testament to an impactful career. --hroest 18:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
• Keep passes WP:PROF.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:31, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
