• Delete unless confusion with the biochemist can be resolved. Reference 3 seems false. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:48, 22 December 2023 (UTC).
• Keep. I added six reviews of two books, enough I think for a pass of WP:AUTHOR. The fact that she shares a name with someone else or that soon after article creation some drive-by editor added a bad reference (which I removed) should be irrelevant. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:45, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

:::Do we know what her GS profile is? She ought to have got some cites. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:41, 23 December 2023 (UTC).

::::This is a book field, not a journal field. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:49, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

:::::Even authors of books get citations. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:17, 23 December 2023 (UTC).

• Keep Looks like a WP:AUTHOR pass. XOR'easter (talk) 16:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
• Keep — Six reviews of two books seem significant enough for me to meet. WP:AUTHOR. Shoerack (talk) 00:27, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
• Comment This article seems to be identical with one in the German WP, which has higher standards than the English WP (or used to). Peterkingiron (talk) 11:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
• :I think their notability standards are strong. Their sourcing sometimes can be inadequate (for instance I was unable to confirm the birthplace listed in their article), but then so can ours. Anyway, this article was initially created as a translation of theirs, but has undergone significant edits subsequently to that. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:12, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
