Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paola Sebastiani
Meets  criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). I am also an Associate Professor at an American University and happen to come across this page while looking up Dr. Sebastiani on Wikipedia. I see above that someone is concerned that the article about her does not add much, but actually, I find it very informative. For someone who wnats to find an expert on Bayesian Statistics and its applications in the biomedical field, this article is very helpful. Also, I know fo Dr. Sebastiani's work and the high regard her colleagues hold for her... I can tell you that she is incredibly respected and is highly sought after by academic  meeting organizers and editors seeking reviewers. The fact that she has a number of articles first authored by her students speaks to her fairness and desire to give proper credit and to promote their careers. I couldn't agree more with the person above who indicated that this is what senior academicians do! I also know that she has first authored vanguard/cutting edge articles such as the one in Nature Genetics and from meetings I have been to, she is currently leading other very cutting edge efforts that will no doubt be published soon. Well I have written alot, but as an academician myself, and given the few completely uninformed objections that I saw concerning the entry about Dr. Sebastiani, I just had to say something
