Draft:Maribel Romero

  • Comment: This subject is potentially notable, however current citations do not clearly demonstrate notability. I would recommend reviewing WP:NACADEMIC for criteria to be met. Currently, we have as cites: The subject's personal website, Academy of Europe membership page, a talk they have given, two data entries on them, their CV, and a page listing their publications. Most of these aren't WP:INDEPENDENT and they don't clearly demonstrate WP:NOTABILITY.
    I'd encourage following the NACADEMIC criteria, given the breadth of publications by the subject and length of their career it seems plausible there is good INDEPENDENT coverage of their work. Feel free to give me a poke once these changes are made and I'm happy to re-review 😊. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 19:05, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
