"Wikipedia now has more than 6 million articles in English".
TechCrunch. Retrieved January 30, 2020. The 6 millionth article is about Maria Elise Turner Lauder, a 19th-century Canadian school teacher, travel writer and fiction writer. The article was written by Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, a longtime editor of Wikipedia.
I see multiple reliable sources, independent of the subject, that significantly cover the person in-depth. As such this clearly and resoundingly passes the notability test. So, I suggest you not become a very public example of the
systemic biases on our site. —

The author of the article Rosiestep aka Rosie herself is an inspiration to every aspiring Wikipedians like me. She is the co-founder of
Women in Red project which has become successful since its inception in 2015. Nice to see WIR was part of this historical significant achievement.

Yes, I'd say so. Beate Eriksen was created by Lampman, El Hormiguero was created by Zzxc, Ezbet El Borg was created by Meno25, Jordanhill railway station was created by Nach0king, Persoonia terminalis was created by Casliber. While Casliber is Cas Liber, the rest are user names only. --

"linguist"?
I wonder whether the word linguist is quoted from century-old sources, and whether it really means what the word commonly means today...

OK, but a century ago the word could sometimes mean just "good with languages" (as in she "was a fair linguist, joining a knowledge of Latin and Greek to that of several modern languages" in the article), while linguistics in the modern sense didn't really exist yet as an autonomous academic field (the
Linguistic Society of America was founded in 1924, and very few people in North America had jobs with "linguist" or "linguistics" in the title until at least the mid-1930s...) --
