I think it's too trivial to include in an encyclopedia. Please look for yourself, thank you. ] (]) 16:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC) | |||
| I've written main parts of the article ] and saw that his biography was categorized as "low-importance" which is absolutely inappropriate in my opinion. So I changed it to "high-importance" - I hope that's ok and I'd like to clearify my rationale for this: | |||
| == Daniel Diermeier == | |||
| Dr. Holick's discoveries laid the foundation for new diagnostic tests and therapies for vitamin D-related diseases, such as diseases affecting the bone metabolism, dermatological and nephrological pathologies. At least several hundrets of millions of people suffer from vitamin D deficiency, what could for the first time been meassured and quantified due to the diagnostic test vitamin D-test he developed. These discoveries are of great importance. There was a Nobel prize awarded for the isolation of Vitamin D in 1928 for Adolf Windaus, Niels Ryberg Finsen also received a Nobel prize for the discovery of the beneficial effects of photo therapy (due to vitamin D production). So the isolation of the 2 other major vitamin D forms (25-OH-Vitamin D and 1,25-OH2-Vitamin D + the chemical synthesis of the latter one) should not be considered as low-importance, but high-importance! His contributions to the field of medicine are outstanding. That's why his biography is a high-importance biography! | |||
| Hi editors, I'm Ben and work for Vanderbilt University. I'm hoping to get some additional feedback on ] I made of the ] article and thought it may be of interest to people here. If you have the time to take a look and offer any thoughts, I'd really appreciate it! ] (]) 17:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC) | |||
| PS: As a medical doctor who has been studying the effects of vitamin D scientifically I strongly believe his scientific achievements are priceless and laid the foundation for a diagnosis and therapy of vitamin d deficiency which affects huge parts of the population. | |||

| PPS: On a side note: Those who will read this are most likely very active Wikipedians who don't get too much sun exposure. I'm convinced the majority of you is vitamin D deficient. Anyways... The article should be categorized "high-important". Thank you!--] (]) 17:51, 9 June 2012 (UTC) | |||

| ==Faculty and Alumni Categories== | |||
| I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this. How do we should we treat categories for various academics. What counts as a faculty member and when should the category be applied. In particular, how do we consider the place where a person did their postdoc? --] (]) 18:54, 30 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
| *"Postdoc" is a position and even though it's considered part of a person's training, this does not make them an alumnus of the institution where they did their postdoc. Neither is postdoc considered a faculty position, so they don't fall in that category, either. However, the place where they did their postdoc can be listed under "workplaces" in an infobox or mentioned in a bio, for example. Hope this helps. --] (]) 10:03, 1 September 2012 (UTC) | |||

Would someone mind taking a look at Mariapaola D'Imperio and assessing it per WP:NPROF? There are only two primary-like sources currently being cited in support of article content, but one of them includes a list of publictions that might show the subject meets NPROF. The subject of the article has also recently started to edit it; so far, most of those edits seem to be fairly innoculous and made in good faith, but they might try to do some more. I did some minor reorganizing and hid some content per WP:BLPSOURCES, but it's probably better if someone more familair with articles about academics take a closer look at it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:47, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Question about adding template
Allan Lichtman is a professor at American University who has received extensive media coverage for formulating and applying The Keys to the White House, a prediction model. The Talk page for his bio article has the standard BLP template but the Talk page for the "Keys" article does not. I've been involved in extremely contentious editing on the "Keys" article; if the template would be appropriate there, I'd appreciate it if an uninvolved editor would add it. Thanks!
