Welcome to my talk. I am still relatively new to the community, so please call me out for any wrong doings. I'm open to criticism, but please keep conversation civil.

Hi @SingleEukaryote: Welcome to Wikipedia!! I see you posted a notability on the Paula Barrett article. She is definitely notable. It is worth checking the article to see if there has been a notability tag on it before. Google Scholar is also worth a check. If it is a really high h-index above 20-25, then the subject is likely notable. She is on 57. If can't identify it, and can see several articles the subject has written, i.e. 5 or 6 with more than 100 citations, then they are likely to be notable. There are caveats of course, people outwith STEM and so on, may have a slightly lower h-index. If can't identity it there, then look for secondary sources: newspapers, academic articles and so on. If you can see 3 good references from different continents, then they are notable. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 16:12, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi there SingleEukaryote! I saw you added your name to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Microbiology participants list so I figured I'd drop by and say hello. Sadly, the microbiology community is a bit sparse here, but there are still a few of us around if you know where to look. As I'm sure you've seen by now, Wikipedia is a big place, and getting started can be daunting. If there's any way I can help as you get used to the place, please let me know. We could certainly use more help with microbiology topics here. More importantly, I hope you're staying well! Your userpage marks you as a current Texan, so I hope you're tolerating the cold alright.
