Résumé-toned WP:BLP of a writer and academic whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. She is a lecturer and associate professor, which are not levels that automatically guarantee Wikipedia articles just because the person exists, but the article is referenced entirely to primary source profiles and pieces about other things where she's the writer, not to any reliable source coverage about her. There were more footnotes here before I stripped the WP:ELNO-violating linkfarm of every individual article she ever wrote for a newspaper or magazine, because each link was "footnoted" to a reduplicated repetition of itself -- but these still were't notability-bolstering sources, because they still represented her bylined writing about other things, not other people writing about her or her work as a subject. There's also a possible conflict of interest here, as the creator was an SPA with a username that's at least mildly suggestive of being the subject herself. As always, academics are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their writing about other things technically metaverifies its own existence -- she has to be the subject of sources written by other people to clear a Wikipedia inclusion standard.

:comment: I just realized that this article was written by a student in our program who wrote about their instructor, which is a huge red flag. {{U|Bearcat}} I draftified the article to immediately remove it from mainspace. We can figure out where to go from here. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:12, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

::Okay, thanks for that. Of course, if better sources can be found to support her notability the article can absolutely be moved back to mainspace again, but thanks for responding promptly and constructively. I'll now close this since it's no longer in mainspace. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
::Hi,
::I am the writer of the article. The subject of the WP:BLP has reliable source coverage in that her work has been discussed in The Globe and Mail, The New York Times, Canadian Business, Cosmopolitan and Daily Mail among others, links and citations of which were included in initial revisions of the article.
::I would like to assure that there is no conflict of interest.
::I have edited the introduction to reflect to a certain extent the emphasis on the publications. The Academic Appointment section serves as a transition between the Education section and the Publication section. Explanations of academic appointments by their very nature are resume-themed. A key point to emphasize in the section would include the initiation of the course on Economics of sex and love - using economics to explain sexual values and relationships.
::The paragraphs in the Publication section are reliant on primary source information as it serves as a discussion of the (at times counter-intuitive) state of knowledge that is a linchpin of the notable literature, research and discussions of the subject of the WP:BLP.
::I look forward to constructive criticism and suggestions on how to improve the article.

:::No, you didn't include any links which demonstrated her as the subject of coverage in any of those publications — you included references which demonstrated her as the author of content in those publications. A person clears our notability standards by being the subject of coverage written by other people, not by being the author of her own references. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
