No evidence of meeting WP:NPROF notability criteria. The cited sources either do not provide independent coverage of this person, or they are authored by this person. She has apparently won some book awards, but I cannot determine if they are notable. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:04, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep Passes WP:AUTHOR with room to spare. Reviews of Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices: [1][2][3][4]. Israeli Cinema is "considered one of the best and most comprehensive books ever written on Israeli cinema and has been reprinted several times. Thousands of students in Israel and all over the world have used it as a textbook, and we may assume that thousands more will continue to do so" [5]. (This goes a significant way to meeting WP:PROF#C4 all by itself.) Other reviews of Israeli Cinema: [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Reviews of Talking Visions: [15][16]. Reviews of On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: [17][18][19][20][21]. We don't typically look to citation counts for testing WP:PROF#C1 in the humanities, but hers are pretty high; Google Scholar turns up at least 8 single-author papers with citations in the triple-digit range.

• Keep per WP:NAUTHOR. pburka (talk) 15:10, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per XOR'easter, but I'm tempted to evoke WP:TNT. The article is in such a sorry state. Geschichte (talk) 19:05, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The biography section is mostly copied from her university profile. I'm going to blank it for now, and try to rewrite it later today or tomorrow. gnu57 19:11, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per citation record and XOReaster. Suggest closing this. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:54, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The page has been around for a while. Where's the substance to it? MaskedSinger (talk) 18:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Substance" isn't relevant to AFD. We're evaluating the notability of topics, not the quality of pages. pburka (talk) 23:17, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:NAUTHOR - page needs fixing up, as others have noted. Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:36, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. --hroest 16:29, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
