  • Delete. I'm afraid this is nothing more than a fan-page. Her [http://www.wolfpark.org/Sophie/index.html webpage] indicates she's properly considered as an activist rather than a behaviour expert / researcher / zoologist, etc. (Her quals are that she's a primary school teacher and evidently completed a 4-day "wolf behavior course" in 1998.) So, I don't think there's much we could even discuss regarding WP:PROF. Indeed, the wide net of GS [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?&q=%22Sophie+Trollope%22 turns up not a single hit], [http://books.google.com/books?&as_brr=0&as_pub=-icon&q=%22Sophie+Trollope%22 no books], etc. The listed achievements, e.g. "the first woman from South Africa to visit Wolf Park" and the 4-day seminar, lend no significance whatsoever. [http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=139&art_id=vn20040213034907199C455536& One source] is listed, a short article in a local paper, but this appears to be a feel-good puff piece. For example, that article paints her as an established researcher, which she clearly is not, with statements like "Following her second visit to Wolf Park in 2002, Trollope came back more determined to finish her research on wolf-dogs". Plain googling doesn't turn up much else besides the epxected facebook/myspace/posting type hits. There simply isn't anything notable to speak of.
