New article that although likely a good faith article, it may have been intended to promote feminism. Though it tried to be neutral, it seems to have inappropriate external links. The article has few sources and sourced material, but its main claims to notability are not one of them. This article is definitely biased and I don't really think it meets Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Mr. Guye (talk) 00:36, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep meets WP:PROF. We deal with NPOV problems by editing. I see no particular promotional intent--it does need the removal of a few adjectives and some duplication (I did a start at this) , and might need a check for copyvio also. But if it isn;t copyvio, I see no basis for bringing it here. I'll fix any faculty article for someone who clearly meets WP:PROF that's called to my attention and needs justy a quick routine adjustment to our style--just ask me.

  • Keep. Regent's Professor is "the highest of faculty ranks" at Arizona [http://www.arizona.edu/about/awards-honors/regents-professors] and clearly passes WP:PROF#C5. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep. Clearly exceeds the Average Professor Test WP:PROF and has had an impact on society outside of academics. The article can be improved through editing. Nickmalik (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep with a GS h-index of 70! What does the nominator think he is doing? Xxanthippe (talk) 22:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC).
  • Keep. It needs more sources, but this is a valid biography of a notable academic. The original article alternated between attacking and praising the subject in some bizarre attempt at NPOV, but it's starting to look better now. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:37, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Snow keep. Misguided nomination. Please withdraw. --Randykitty (talk) 12:54, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
