I can't find any substantial coverage of the subject in reliable sources. Cited sources are either written by the subject, primary, not independent or trivial mentions. WP:BIO is therefore definitely not met. WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF are harder to assess, but with an h-index of 8, appear to be unlikely to be met. SmartSE (talk) 14:34, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Subjects meets the WP:BASIC standard.--User:Namiba 15:08, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I think it's certainly WP:TOOSOON for WP:NPROF for this PhD student, though the one highly cited work is a good start. I'm not finding sufficient reviews for WP:NAUTHOR -- that would be a stretch anyway, given that there is only one authored (and highly coauthored) book. I see passing mentions in the Guardian and Independent concerning the Cecil Rhodes protests, but I think this is short of WP:SIGCOV; it looks like it would be a WP:BLP1E anyway.

Delete as either WP:PROF or (more likely eventually ) WP:Author. One significant book ,and one only. The article iseems to be used as a WP:COATRACK for her opinions. DGG ( talk ) 17:23, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Doesn't the fact that she has a name in such a source make it encyclopedic? --E.Imanoff (talk) 19:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC) — E.Imanoff (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Elshadiman (talk · contribs). [reply]
- VIAF? No. That's a database of people who have published a book. (Or, more specifically, been listed somewhere in the catalogs of various major national libraries and equivalent listings — it's actually a tool for cross-indexing those libraries.) It is merely a spinoff of the fact already discussed and dismissed as insufficient above, that she is the author of one book. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:25, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Thanks for the extensive explanation.--E.Imanoff (talk) ^Search 19:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)~~[reply]

Comment The book she co-edited, Decolonising the University, certainly seems to be notable and could use a Wikipedia page if someone were so inclined. pburka (talk) 23:55, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~@Pburka This is a very good idea. --E.Im anoff ^Snatch 01:13, 21 January 2022 (UTC)~~[reply]
Delete as WP:Too soon for WP:Prof. GNG not attained yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:20, 21 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]
