Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Ballard
It's clear that this article will be kept. Though I disagree, I would like only to illustrate here the shoddiness that inevitably results: the article is mostly supported by http://sites.psu.edu/astrowright/2015/06/02/imposter-syndrome/ blogs (with trivial mention), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ll0xQVE7nA YouTube videos, http://static1.squarespace.com/static/566f2b72d8af10aa5eabf59a/t/56f4aa6f01dbae402c11ef62/1458874991415/Ballard_longform_CV.pdf Ballard's own CV and http://www.drsarahballard.com/ personal website, https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.1561 Arxiv manuscripts, http://news.mit.edu/2015/3q-sarah-ballard-astrophysics-and-gender-equity-science-1113 institutional PR, and various other http://csne-erc.org/engage-enable/post/tips-defeat-your-inner-imposter webcruft. Most of the 2 dozen source are like this and I'm saddened if this is what all of you take as acceptable . The http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/14/uc-berkeley-astronomy-professor-quits-amid-sexual-harassment-allegations Guardian piece is obviously RS, though it only has a trivial mention of Ballard in the context of the Marcy incident. The https://www.boston.com/news/science/2015/10/16/local-astronomer-helped-bring-attention-to-issue-of-sexual-harassment-in-science boston.com source is somewhat better, but that again is Marcy-related. I would urge the "keeps" to find proper sourcing, because the article, as it now stands, does not satisfy requirements of BLP
