Comment: This is so obviously notable a topic, based on the number of notable women linguists, that discussing it any further is like ''a fish riding a bicycle''. It is not so bad as |to be deleted and started form scratch. Nor is AfD a place to discuss fixing problems that could be improved through ordinary editing processes or bot-assisted mechanism. Not leaving it in mainspace because it needs improvement reeks of Ambivalent sexism, because we would never do that for a list of linguists.  Deleting it now will make us look bad at the wrong time

Comment: the topic passes , per the evidence supplied by David Eppstein.  The issue of how it is maintained is a separate one.  Such bots should not be automatic as they will edit war and so we should have a general policy forbidding them to work in this way
