It is clearly stated in the policy on  that “if an academic is notable under this guideline, his or her possible failure to meet other subject specific notability guidelines is irrelevant.” Many people interpret this incorrectly to mean that as long as they satisfy  that they do not need to satisfy . General notability guidelines are not “subject specific” guidelines, they are general guidelines. As such, it is my opinion that this article must still meet  in order for inclusion. With that being said, she is cited in many publications and has contributed to some as well. She would qualify under , but there are no  that would qualify her under general notability guidelines, which is the 1st step to inclusion in my opinion. As such, the article should be deleted or placed in a userspace until such time as she is identified by  in reliable sources.  Also, “Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1 of WP Academic.” That kind of contradicts the academic guidelines, but still shows that the intent is not to allow articles to circumvent the  and  qualify for inclusion simply for being cited in other publications or having authored many texts
