This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because this is a newsworthy event that has received sufficient media attention in BBC, Washington Post and TIME .. apart from virtually every Indian news media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProdigiousKing32480910284 (talk • contribs) 04:33, 15 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

This 'BLP' gives grossly WP:UNDUE weight to one aspect of Annette Beck-Sickinger. It has 1.5 lines about her being a professor, 5 lines about the e-mail! Over 3 to one. Nothing else, yet, about her life, training, or any accomplishments, just the Leipzig University internship controversy. This seem to me blatantly unfair.
The creator of this page is a new account. Their only edits have been related to this issue. This does not seem to be Wikipedia:Neutral point of view (wp:NPOV) to me. This wp:BLP could be categorised as a wp:ATTACK page ".. that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material which is entirely negative in tone and unsourced"220ofBorg 13:10, 15 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
It is not undue weight to expose her racism anymore than it is undue weight to expose the racism of Donald Sterling. They are both racist who need to have their racism brought to the light of day. Her racist attempts to exclude the males of a whole race from advanced education should not be treated as anything less than grave racism.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:04, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
