Deletion of Joan H. Lee

Comment: It's extremely unusual for an academic to become notable so early (and, in fact, I don't think she meets , but there's a clear pass of /. I have never before seen an MA thesis generating so much interest and coverage. The only minus point I see is that perhaps at this early point in her career,  should be taken to apply here

The difference is that in the former case, both author and product should have RS about them, and in the latter, only the written work gets significant coverage.

Furthermore, I haven't found any evidence that she's notable for any scholarly work except that one thesis, which means she may also run afoul of
