Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deirdre Eberly Lashgari
1 of  is "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." Under Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics is the point "For scholars in humanities the existing citation indices and GoogleScholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information. In these cases one can also look at how widely the person's books are held in various academic libraries (this information is available in Worldcat) when evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied." Lashgari's book ''Violence, Silence, and Anger: Women's Writing as Transgression'' (1995) is held by 469 libraries, according to Worldcat. ''The Other Voice: Women's Poetry in Translation'' (1976) is in 712 libraries, ''Women Poets of The World'' is in 281. (I think it is very significant that books from 1976 and 1995 have not been deaccessioned, and are still in so many libraries.)  #4 is "The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions." The article says (at the end of the section Works - very badly placed, it should be in the lead para): "Her pioneering work and leading contributions changed the literary curriculum at Berkeley and other institutes and universities in the United States of America and has normalized the presence of women's voices and writings as part of the syllabus in such departments." The reference for that is an obituary in ''The New York Times'' and ''Claremont Courier''. So there is definitely evidence that she meets . The article could be improved to better show that, but that is not a reason for deleting it
