The following source I have not been able to access yet (I have requested a copy via the library), but once I do I believe it will make a good primary source of information from Janet Asimov herself.

^[1]

The next source is a newspaper article discussing the AIDS-related death of her husband and has a few insightful remarks that give insight into Janet Asimov's character.

She did not author any of the papers listed under "Medical writing"

She did: the last 5 authors are omitted from the first ref and she is listed under her birth name Jeppson in the other two. Pam D 18:27, 7 February 2018 (UTC) reply

What is the basis of Janet Asimov's notability? As far as I can tell, her only claim to notability is having been married to Isaac Asimov, but that's not a basis of her own notability; WP:NOTINHERITED. None of her writings appear to have been given any awards, let alone significant ones, and her academic career does not meet WP:NPROF. So, by what means does she meet the notability requirement?

By being a successful author in her own right, you twat. Richard75 ( talk) 19:18, 17 March 2019 (UTC) reply

This article has no information at all about her personal life, except for her marriage. It would be good if we could fix that. Richard75 ( talk) 19:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The bit about doctors preventing the disclosure of Isaac’s AIDS is puzzling. Can doctors in the USA forbid you to talk freely about your husband’s diseases? -- 82.37.67.151 ( talk) 16:20, 14 October 2021 (UTC) reply

It was probably just strong advice. Richard75 ( talk) 12:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC) reply
