Based on the high number of people that have been elected in the last few years among what appears to be a very small potential pool of selectees, I don't consider that "highly selective" -Drdisque (talk) 19:12, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lean Delete: Seems pretty marginal compared to the slew of unreferenced academic articles I've worked on recently. E.g, if she was a Fellow of the Royal Society like Ruth Lynden-Bell who I worked on earlier, that would be enough. (Note, the article when created included the line "She is famous for her enthusiastic gestures and cheerful laughter. She is going on sabbatical for the first half of next year, and she will be sorely missed. She is awesome.")--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 23:30, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
