The article is about a post doctoral fellow who edited her own wiki page. The reference has been take from her own website. This violates biography of living person rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mantaka666 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the comment above. This is a personal profile and the person has enforced her own profile on wikipedia by taking advantage of the free editing platform that wikipedia provides. This page should be deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.139.78 (talk) 00:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, many other post docs at different schools should also have wiki pages. While I agree the person has had some successes but hasn’t made any contributions that warrants a wiki page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:94 (talk) 03:35, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 December 31. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 11:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article as it currently stands was not written by the subject. Primary sources are commonly used for biographies of scholars. – Thjarkur (talk) 12:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Even discounting publications where the subject isn't the first author and only completed her PhD a couple of years ago and far from being a full professor, seems to have a surprisingly strong publication citation record to pass WP:NPROF. Plus a bit of media attention from Forbes. I see nothing obvious to suggest was editted by the subject. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:15, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Full disclosure: I started this page. Extraordinary citation record for such an early stage researcher. May not hold a tenured position yet, but there are tenured professors on here who have less impactful and cited work. I presume the person who nominated the page for deletion is just jealous of how successful Liu is, as this is the first time they have ever contributed to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mantaka666). Jesswade88 (talk) 12:50, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete:*@Jesswade88:: FYI, I am not jealous and I am not even in her field. I submitted my opinions as a scientist, not because the person is my "friend". Here is a list of other female alumni from the same lab with tenured positions and they do not have wiki pages: Feifei Shi, Lili Cai, Chong Liu, who have contributed much more to the field with many more first authored publications. I am surprised the author has no clue about impact of first-author publications vs being listed as a co-author in a lab that publishes so frequently. If the author is going to make pages like this, she better make sure it is fair and not promoting her friends.
Keep: The nominator has not provided any valid argument for deleting this article. Liu's work Reviving the lithium metal anode for high-energy batteries has got more than 1900 citations. This is enough for me. It also seems to me that this nomination has been made in bad-faith. ─ The Aafī ^{^(talk)} 13:57, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sources cited offer very little evidence of notability. I have failed to find anything better. Maproom (talk) 13:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NPROF C1. While the subject is very early career, the GS citation record is strong enough that I still think it is an unambiguous pass. Comment that on the most highly-cited papers, the first two authors (including her as 2nd author) are marked as contributing equally. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:23, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question for Nominator - @Mantaka666: and IP 134.134.139.78, I'm failing to find any evidence in article history that the subject of this article has used it for autobiographical or coi purposes. Could you please post evidence here (or strike that part of the nom?) Netherzone (talk) 15:56, 31 December 2020 (UTC) I also wanted to say I find it odd that the nominator has only made two edits to the encyclopedia since they created their account two days ago. Both of the edits involved nominating this article for deletion. Netherzone (talk) 16:02, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - after conducting a WP:BEFORE search, I'm convinced this young researcher meets WP:NPROF per criteria #1. Netherzone (talk) 16:15, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
