Revision to academic biography

In response to suggestions from @Cabrils, the article has been revised to meet WP:NPROF requirements due to inclusion of:

1) additional multiple references about Kentsis' scientific research, including explanations of their academic and medical significance;

2) multiple academic awards with their respective citations, illustrating academic impact and leadership;

3) references to professional accomplishments.

In addition, the revised article is hyperlinked to multiple established WP entries that contain additional reference information, such as for example article on ribavirin that explains its uses for cancer therapy, which Kentsis pioneered, article on Thomas Look that describes the discovery of autocrine signaling, which Kentsis made, and so on.

Example WP:THREE best sources that establish notability include:

1) https://www.mskcc.org/research/ski/labs/alex-kentsis

2) https://www.mskcc.org/research-programs/developmental-oncology

3) https://data.the-asci.org/controllers/asci/DirectoryController.php?action=profile&entryId=501533

Appreciate your help, @Cabrils. Neenotchka (talk) 15:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neenotchka, thanks for this.

Firstly, do NOT remove comments on the draft page-- this is a serious violation of Wikipedia policies.

Re: your WP:THREE above:

Unfortunately none of these sources meet WP:THREE because none of them are WP:RS for the purpose of meeting the relevant notability criteria, as defined.

The draft needs to meet WP:NPROF.

Also, as requested in my comment on the draft that you deleted, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).

And, again as suggested in my comment that you deleted, it would be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NPROF criteria #3, because XXXXX"). Cabrils (talk) 00:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
