Your submission at Articles for creation: Meredith Broussard (June 5)

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Joe Decker was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It is difficult to navigate our notability criteria, but for academics, generally, one of a few things ends up being required. See WP:ACADEMIC for the formal bits, but I'll try and translate that into English that hits the key points

Named chair or equivalent at a reputable university
Citation metrics demonstrating that the academic's work is widely cited -- the proper metrics vary by field, but "an h-index of 20" is not far wrong for many fields
Authorship of books that have received article-length or more reviews in two or more academic or reliable mainstream sources

There are certainly exceptions... generally academics who've developed an extraordinary amount of public fame in other ways, but for the most part, you'll likely need to show, through sources, that Broussard meets one of these three tests before this article will be accepted.

A quick glance at GScholar suggests that h-index isn't going to work, and I don't see a named chair. Perhaps Boussard's publications have received long-form reviews?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Meredith Broussard and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Meredith Broussard, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
