advice

As one of the reviewers who work extensively with articles on academics, I think this would , although certainly, pass AfD., so I accepted it. There are some improvements that would help:

1. . For notability . the books are more importantthan the articles. Highlight them by putting them into a list. They have probably been reviewed. Find the reviews, and give citations to them --this is very important in showing notability .
2. Don't list every journal article. List only the 3 or 4 most important or most recent.. Put them in a list, not a table.
3. our style is that book titles go in italics,
4. I made some copyedits--for example, it isn't necessary to say "activist" when the article shows activism,; the lede sentence should give only the key element towards notability, which is the academic career. .
5. Give the dates for each step in the academic career.
6. Since this is your only contribution, it is reasonable to ask whether you are a connected contributor, in which case you must declare the connection. Please see our rules on Conflict of Interest If you are writing this for pay or as a staff member of the organization, see also WP:PAID for the necessary disclosures. If, on the other hand, you have written it as part of an editathon or wikipedia editing project, say so on the article talk page--it's not a conflict of interest, but it answers any doubt about whether there is a COI.

If the article should be listed for deletion, which is always possible, notify me on my usertalk page, and I will try to help.

If you're going to write future articles on academics, see WP:PROF for the guidelines. In the humanities, the key factor isat least two books by high quality academic publishers. In science, it's seveal papers with citations well over 100. If you're going to concentrate on activists, the standard is WP:GNG as explained in WP:ANYBIO. We judge here mainly by having substantial 3rd party well-known reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices. There should be at least three really good references. A major prize always helps, but it needs to be referenced. (I'll note that Baker's activism isn't substantial enough to qualify on that basis alone.) DGG ( talk ) 18:09, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
