BLP of Associate Professor in which all information about the individual is from a primary source (pages on the university site she would have written about herself). There is one independent source that is there solely to site the existence of aschool in Hong Kong and which does not mention this person's name. Fails WP:ACADEMIC.

By analogy, the Botanical Journal of the Linnaean Society cites no sources whatsoever, because not many people have written about it. The argument goes that the said journal is such a reliable source in its own right that it doesn't need reliable sources from other publications in order to have an article.
This is not to say that the professor in question here should have an article. I just wanted to say there are good reasons why Wikipedia tends to be kindly to academics when it comes to the GNG. There are millions of myspace bands, pokemon characters and star trek episodes that find it easier to get past the GNG than a proper scholar such as this lady, and that's a problem.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 00:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
