The fact that all the subject's research papers are published in junk journals is, perhaps, not of major importance. After all, publishing stuff adds (or subtracts) not one jot to Wikipedia notability. What is important is that the work be noticed by others, and in this case, there appears to be not a single citation to the work in any of the citation databases: these are the gold standards for research impact. Therefore, the award by the AAAS ''for her research'' may be misleading to many, as it implies that the research has made impact on others, as awards for research are usually taken to do. The matter will need to be mentioned in the BLP, but I am glad to see that some of the ill-advised and misplaced peacockery in the BLP has been removed by editors. It is clear that this award is not given for excellence in research, judged by international standards, but for the no less worthy but less notable perseverance in difficult circumstances. AAAS and Elsevir are at fault for not making this matter clear. It has misled several contributors to this AfD debate. Early career awards are generally not notable and do not qualify for rof#C2
