Hello! In addition to the more formal edit proposed above, I would also like to suggest that the article could be enriched by adding a few facts that can show why the scholar warrants a Wikipedia entry. I will try and break down those proposals into separate items, which can be added or rejected independently.
Highly cited author
[edit]- Reason for the change: This way, it would be clearer that the subject meets Criterion 1 of WP:NACADEMIC.
- Proposed text to be added: de Búrca is a highly-cited legal scholar, with over 15,000 citations on Google Scholar.[3]
Author of leading textbook
[edit]- Reason for the change: one of the subject's main claims to notability among academics is that she is the author of a leading textbook on European Union law, which is not currently acknowledged in the page.
- Proposed text to be added: With Paul Craig (legal scholar), de Búrca is the author of "EU law: text, cases, and materials", one of the most popular textbooks in European Union Law.
- Supporting link: https://doi.org/10.1017/glj.2021.47 -> a peer-reviewed article from a prestigious law journal that refers to this textbook as "the most popular EU law textbook"
Research areas
[edit]- Reason for the change: giving the reader a broader prespective on the subject's work.
- Proposed text to be added: de Búrca's research focuses on EU law, human rights and equality, democracy, and governance.
- Supporting link: https://www.eui.eu/news-hub?id=revisiting-constitutional-law-eui-welcomes-back-professor-grainne-de-burca -> since this is a primary source directly connected with the subject (an interview from their home institution), its usefulness is limited, but it might be enough to ground the more-or-less-factual description of the fields of study.
