Fails WP:GNG. Attempts to find sources for notability in WP:BEFORE came up empty handed. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 23:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. At the very least, the article should mention the subject's current position/institution/company and major contributions to the field, and there aren't even any RS on that. --Tserton (talk) 20:56, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: I added 2 references proving she holds a patent, and published multiple papers about distributed computing. She worked for Digital Equipment Corporation and Compaq. She is (a retired) Director at Hewlett-Packard. Geertivp (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think that the simple fact of holding a patent is anything to write home about - it depends whether the patent is widely used and whether it has been defended successfully in court. The subject has contributed to several highly cited papers, but citations in computer science are so high that I don't know whether she passes WP:PROF#C1 on their basis.

- Delete, regretfully. I am hesitant to delete any articles about Women in STEM, since there is such legion gender discrimination in those fields. That having been said, there is too little about the person readily available online to make even a decent stub. I would not oppose userfication, even if it's dumped in my user space.
