Notability

We are having trouble establishing whether the subject of this BLP meets WP:BIO. The most relevant avenues would seem WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR. These are two possibilities, but neither is particularly strong:

  • Although she is the recipient of a Lambda award, it was not based on a work of her own (she was its editor).
  • Although the mainpage says she received an Emmy award, she actually received the "San Francisco/Northern California Emmy Award", not the very notable Emmy Award

The subject does not appear to meet any other criterion of WP:PROF. Only few of her pubs are peer-reviewed, and she has a GS h-index of about 11, which is not very high.
The only coverage of the subject in a secondary source appears to be a brief piece in a local Chicago LGBT newspaper. All well and good, but not a clear indication of WP:GNG, and it is the only one apparent at all. Any assistance in establishing notability would be appreciated.

Perhaps we should cut to the chase and try to explain how Stryker's work has helped discredit J. Michael Bailey? If that's not enough we could just fall back on her current list of awards and accomplishments. Insomesia (talk) 19:06, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
