Draft:Melissa Jacquart

  • Comment: Show notability and also clear up the publication to only present key ones. KeepItGoingForward (talk) 00:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The list of publications is far too detailed; Wikipedia biographies should list only the significant publications (in most cases at most 5-6). The draft provides no evidence of academic notability, such as a major society fellowship, heavily-cited publications (for instance, multiple publications with at least three-digit citation counts in Google Scholar), or a named or distinguished professorship. The use of inline external links violates WP:EL. Most of the material in this draft has no reference (not something by Jacquart, but something published by people independent of Jacquart and her employers, about her and her work). This is far from ready to be published as an article and far from convincing that we should have an article about her. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
