Ms. Pransky has a degree from the mid 1980s from Tufts in child development and has no computer science experience other than reporting robotic news. I believe if the page stated her BA is in child development it will make it clear she is not a computer scientist. Her website states she is an entertainer and is involved in edu-tainment. I can not find one reference that refers to her, even self promoting material, as a computer scientist. I did not delete this information before waiting to have a discussion. What do you think?
Source used is not a self-published source, but it meets the guidelines because it is written or published by the subject; see WP:BLPSPS and WP:BLPSELFPUB. A more experienced editor may be able to make this edit flow better. The page is tagged as being questionable for meeting notability guidelines and I think this resource and her pioneering in the sex robot topic make her unique. She follows David Levy who has a Ph.D. about Sex Robots and is cited on multiple pages on Wiki. I welcome feedback if I am on the right track to add notability.
Our group is trying to establish notability because the page is cited as being questionable. If this source adds to her notability how do we rewrite? Simply state, for instance, she is a pioneer in sex robot development and adds a source? Thank you on behalf of our group. We have five other pages as an assignment and this our last one and we are really struggling! The other ones were easy because the notability was clear.
David, did we do the coding correctly?
Ms. Pransky is clearly a journalist, though her notability is deserving of questioning. She clearly is not an expert by either formal education or experience in computer science practice. The page is improved by stating a journalist rather than an expert.

Thank you for the feedback. In my research, I found a webpage that appears valid to add value to the page, not detract from the page. I first thought the page not notable; yet, the overwhelming feedback from a few editors is this is a person of great importance. I was misled by the average site visits of 4 and the misuse of a Dr. title that the page may not be of notability. Obviously, I was mistaken and this person is a trailblazer and pioneer in this field. I am confused by the elimination of her official web page without discussion. Comparing the two sites, Robot.MD and Joanne Pransky they both appear valid. If this doesn't celebrate her reputation as a world-class thought leader in this field I happily agree with taking any information out that would do this lady any disservice to her momentous contributions as a renowned expert in the field of robotics. This my last edit to this page.
