Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by CFA were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

The comment the reviewer left was:

After looking extensively at sources, I think I am forced to conclude that this is not quite passing Wikipedia's notability standards. In terms of general notability, I found one independent, reliable, in-depth source ("Dr. Alison Barth". Stories of WiN. 2020-09-16. Retrieved 2024-04-29) when the general notability guideline requires multiple sources. In terms of WP:ACADEMIC I found that the subject does the following on the different criteria:

The person's research has had AN impact on their field, but the significance is not adequately shown.
The person has received awards, but they do not appear to be significant enough to reach notability
The person has been an elected member of a scholarly society or association, but I do not see enough evidence to suggest that AAAS is highly selective or prestigious enough to pass this guideline.

The person's academic work has not made a significant impact in the area of higher education in general

The person has held a named chair, but I do not think this constitutes the distinguished professor appointment threshold as I understand it. It appears that Carnegie is keen on giving almost every tenured professor a similar named title, though I have no source for that claim of course. I think that this guideline is specifically tailored to established professorships which have multiple generations of academics and are the highest in their department. I see no evidence that Barth reaches this.
The person has not held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
The person has not had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
The person has not been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.

There is a specific professor decline option for the very reason that the line between notability and non-notability is very thin. I think this one is the closest I have seen so far to passing notability without passing. I think this is particularly difficult, especially when considering items such as the gender divide in terms of professors on Wikipedia, and I really would like to see the subject become notable in the future- which is something I could imagine happening fairly soon.
