• Keep: The three fellowships and the hospital positions show notability, she has a large list in Gscholar, but I can't pull up her h-index. Oaktree b (talk) 14:37, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Meets WP:ANYBIO due to multiple awards. Subject is a professor at Harvard Medical School, has received prestigious honors like election to the National Academy of Medicine, and has made groundbreaking discoveries in the molecular mechanisms of tumor growth.Mysecretgarden (talk) 09:21, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• @Jesswade88 do you know why the subject wants the article deleted? As it stands it seems like a pretty bland and unobjectionable bio - no personal details, rather positive. (I swear there's a policy on what to do if the article subject requests deletion, but I can't find it now. I believe it is "presumption in favor of deletion if marginally notable, otherwise keep"?)
• Procedural keep: I think Moses is notable based on evidence presented above, but I also generally weigh WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE heavily in the case of someone non-prominent. However, we don't have any evidence presented of an actual request from Moses, just an editor and an IP saying Moses has made this request. In that case, I think we should "keep" with no prejudice against having another discussion should we get confirmation that Moses is requesting deletion. To provide that confirmation, Moses may follow the WP:VRT procedure listed at WP:BLPHELP. If we get confirmation from VRT in this debate, would someone ping me as I will be happy to reconsider my !vote at that time. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
