[edit] Judy Singer

Judy Singer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

As far as I can tell she does not seem to be sufficiently notable to merit an encyclopaedia article. She has a website [1] has had pieces published in obscure books, and has given a couple of seminar paper to a limited audience, apart from that nothing. Zeraeph 03:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - not a notable academic. - Richard Cavell 04:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete — For notability, but I'd love to see the article sourced and notability proven. Philippe Beaudette 04:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Non-notable person--$UIT 04:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete She finished her honors thesis in 1998? I'm guessing she's not even finished her schooling yet, which is kind of important if her notability is based on her academic cred. Bobanny 08:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete not notable enough.--Zedco 10:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Realkyhick 07:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete partly on the basis that she sells copies of her essays through her web site. Any notability would be as an activist and founder of ASpar. Certainly not as an academic--none of her various essays are published in professional sources. Nor tis there any evidence that she intends an academic career. DGG 01:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Judy Singer coined the word neurodiversity which has 224000 google hits [2] and neurotypical which has 69000 google hits [3]. I'd consider someone noteworthy after inventing largely used words. Q0 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: I wonder if a merge and/or redirect to neurodiversity could work? Q0 15:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• CommentAre there any verifiable sources that establish she created the term at all? --Zeraeph 23:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
