Promotionally-toned article that relies heavily on primary and non-independent sourcing. I don’t see a WP:NPROF pass - subject is on a few highly cited papers, but only as a 5th or 6th co-author, and listed awards do not appear particularly prestigious. As for WP:GNG- she is quoted and/or mentioned in things like this and this, but I was not able to turn up any significant coverage of her specifically in secondary, independent sources (not interviews). Searched g-news, g-books, newspapers.com, PressReader, and some Finnish newspapers. Zzz plant (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Despite a few highly-cited papers seems to have a GS h-index of only 7; not enough to pass wP:Prof#C1. Otherwise an average (but worthy) academic researcher and administrator. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:10, 2 August 2025 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. There is one very highly-cited paper, but it is also highly coauthored, and the subject is a middle author (in a field where that matters, noting that it is also from her student days). I don't think this is enough for notability by itself, and the citation numbers drop off steeply after that. Little other sign of WP:NPROF. A PhD thesis is unlikely to contribute to WP:NAUTHOR unless published as a book, which this one does not seem to have been. Not seeing much sign of GNG, although I will watch the discussion in case better evidence arises. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 05:40, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Her name appears 51 times in Swissdox (Swiss newspapers). It appears all of them are news articles quoting her as an expert or advertising events in which she appeared. Some non-paywalled examples: very short quote [1], very long quotes [2], somewhere-in-the-middle quotes [3] (originally appeared in Coopzeitung). I don't think the GNG is met. Her, uhhh, "associations" with Swiss universities are nowhere close to meeting NPROF, and I don't think Chefarzt counts either. Toadspike [Talk] 14:55, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
