This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Laurel Oldach (8 March 2022). "What's with Wikipedia and women?". American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Retrieved 9 March 2022. Rajini Rao found the Wikipedia article about herself by accident. "I was sort of flattered," she said. "It was remarkably detailed. I was like, 'Somebody read my thesis?'" But a few months later, the physiologist found a banner across the top of the page, indicating that a volunteer contributor to the encyclopedia had expressed doubt about her academic notability.

Notability.

One criterion is about whether The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. In fact, 1.a) talks about if the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work.

Well, you can check on Google Scholar that Rajini Rao has an h-index of 48. This, in the field of Biology.

If you take a look at this study by Anna Samoilenko & Taha Yasseri,The distorted mirror of Wikipedia: a quantitative analysis of Wikipedia coverage of academics, back when it was published only 36% of Biologists (academics) with an article in WP:EN had an h-index over the mean of their field that, at the moment, was 22. So, well, I'm quite sure in 7 it has not doubled, and even so professor Rajini Rao would be over the mean and deserve to hare an article.

So, I hope the «notability thingy» will not be put there again. Thanks.

Agree, Rao is more than notable enough to fulfil these notability criteria. To the editor who corrected the tag User:77.75.179.1: thank you! If you make a Wikipedia account it will let you easily track all of your contributions as well as telling other editors you're serious about contributing to the encyclopaedia. Please make one if you can! Jesswade88 (talk) 06:16, 25 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
