Talk:Elva Díaz

Latest comment: 2 months ago by Minuette Macon

WP:NACADEMIC, a subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (academics) says Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Academics meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria. The "nushell" says, Subjects of biographical articles on Wikipedia are required to be notable; that is significant, interesting, or unusual enough to be worthy of notice, as evidenced by being the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Thus, even though Díaz may not meet the WP:PROF criteria, she has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources used to write this article:

  1. Announcing the 2023 ADVANCE Scholar Award Recipients
  2. Faculty Mentors, Elva Diaz, Ph.D.
  3. Connections From Bench to Bedside, see subsection "Fighting Childhood Brain Tumors"
  4. PROTEIN CALLS UP ‘RESERVES’ TO MAKE STRONGER MEMORIES
  5. Unlocking the Mysteries of the Brain-- How Can We Learn More About the Brain?

Thus, these 5 biographical statements meet notability requirements for Elva Díaz's bio under WP:GNG, as "significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources." — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:59, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree with this. Plus, Diaz is an NIH New Innovator Award recipient, and those are extremely prestigious Minuette Macon (talk) 14:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
