Lucy zhang

Non notable. Probably a vanity article. Angela. 17:02, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

• Verifiable assistant professor at Tulane (many of the 700 Google hits are about her), but no indication of further notability. Article was written by anon 129.81.145.107, user's only edit. Weak delete unless evidence of greater notability is shown. I've got a friend doing research in fluid microdynamics and developing theories and methods, and he might be an assistant professor, but I won't write his bio until he gets major attention for accomplishments.

• Keep Miss Zhang has provided countless advances in her field of study. It's sad to see how ignorant people are to delete articles without looking at her accomplishments. SoSoDef 20:23, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

  If those "countless advances" were mentioned in the article, there wouldn't be a reason to delete. However, as it stands, the article says nothing about why this person in encyclopedic. Angela. 07:50, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this smells like vanity, agree with Angela. Thue | talk 17:26, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• weak delete her biography shows what appear to be peer reviewed publications, but not many, and a relatively short research career (starting approx 2000). No publications in major general journals such as Nature and no specific major achievements are listed. Whilst this doesn't prove that she isn't worthy of an article, a much clearer explanation of her achievements in computational physics would be needed to persuade me. An article on IFEM and it's practical uses in the field would be a good start. A new but not commonly accepted algorithm would not be encyclopedic since its value would be unverifiable.
