References do not include substantive discussion of subject in published reliable independent sources like magazines or newspapers, or books, subject does not appear to qualify under WP:ACADEMIC (does not hold a named chair nor is identified as a University Professor/ Distinguished Professor, at least not yet). Subject's own publications and research projects are not sufficiently independent to substantiate a notability claim. Award mentioned does not itself appear to be a notable award. Being appointed an associate professor does not assure inclusion. Bindle-stiff (talk) 10:15, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your rapid feedback. I am a new user in Wikipedia, can you please indicate precisely what the problem is, so I can try and fix it? Angela McLean (talk) 10:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, Angela McLean. The nominator already detailed above the problems that ostensibly are in the article. You might want to search Wikipedia for the rules about notability of persons, i.e. WP:BIO, and more specifically for WP:ACADEMICS. The general rules are in WP:NOTABILITY. The concept of notability is a fundational one for Wikipedia so you might want to acquaint yourself with it. Additionally, articles that are biographies of living persons are under their own, rather strict, rules - for which you may want to look up WP:BLP. Happy editing, and take care. -The Gnome (talk) 11:13, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only one high-citation paper ("Review of methods addressing freshwater use in life cycle inventory and impact assessment"), in which she is listed as 16th out of 17 co-authors, not enough for WP:PROF#C1. #C2 explicitly excludes student awards, such as her best-dissertation award. The journal she edits is too new for notability via #C8, and anyway she is just one of many editorial board members, not editor-in-chief. So overall my impression is that although she is on a successful academic career track, it is WP:TOOSOON for her to have accumulated enough impact for notability through her scholarly work. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:50, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
