On biography, work and personal life: [1]. Can anybody tell me if this is a reliable source?

It looks like a copy of her bio at the Berkeley Political Science department, [2].

I rated this as "stub" quality (which seems pretty clear) and "Mid" important, which I'm less clear about; I would say Brown is among a handful of the most notable currently active American political theorists, but I may be exaggerating, as I'm viewing the discipline through the lens of my own interests.

15 years later, and I am assessing it as Low importance for a BLP. Probably should be upgraded to Class C quality from Stub assessment. Needs lots of cruft removed, and excessive primary sourcing and duplicate refs cleaned up. I'm working on that now.--FeralOink (talk) 09:41, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Person life edit

The "Person life" section was underdeveloped. More information should have been added considering she is still alive. The sources barely worked, I would suggest finding relevant sources to add to this article.

– Clear primary topic by usage (95.9% of all-time pageviews ) and significance (subject of most results on first pages of Google, Scholar and Books for "wendy brown" -author:brown). (Noting for completeness that Wendy Anne Brown [Atlantic story] is currently unwritten/redirect ... and there may even be another candidate [Wired] for Wendy Brown (cheerleading).)
