This article concerns a grandchild of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was a psychologist at Sarah Lawrence until recently. The article relies on essentially four sources: (1) bio pages at Sarah Lawrence, (2) a page from the FDR Presidential Library identifying her as one of his many descendants, (3) a directory of academics, and (4) a brief mention in an NYT obituary for her husband. IMHO, this does not qualify as significant media coverage given that, aside from the Sarah Lawrence pages, none of the other sources discuss her in any meaningful capacity. Likewise, BEFORE searches did not return any meaningful results.
So, I'm nominating this because I do not believe it passes WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. If others can find sources meeting those criteria, I'm happy to withdraw the nomination. DocFreeman24 ( talk) 00:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

- Keep:
WP:NACADEMIC #5 pass by virtue of holding a named chair at a major institution (
Roy E Larsen Chair of Psychology at Sarah Lawrence). Directing a large university center on education for twenty years and earning tons of awards for her research about teaching, both from her institution and externally, gives her a strong argument for NACADEMIC #7 also, and some of her awards could be passes of #2. And her books are widely reviewed; there is an
WP:NEXIST pass of GNG here. -

- Astrophobe, Ah, thank you for spotting the named chair appointment. I didn't see that and I agree that it satisfies NACADEMIC #5. I don't agree with the NEXISTS assertion but the point is moot so we don't need to debate it. I'll withdraw the nomination. Thanks much. DocFreeman24 ( talk) 04:11, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
