| Submission declined on 19 October 2024 by KeepItGoingForward (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: Show notability and also clear up the publication to only present key ones. KeepItGoingForward (talk) 00:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The list of publications is far too detailed; Wikipedia biographies should list only the significant publications (in most cases at most 5-6). The draft provides no evidence of academic notability, such as a major society fellowship, heavily-cited publications (for instance, multiple publications with at least three-digit citation counts in Google Scholar), or a named or distinguished professorship. The use of inline external links violates WP:EL. Most of the material in this draft has no reference (not something by Jacquart, but something published by people independent of Jacquart and her employers, about her and her work). This is far from ready to be published as an article and far from convincing that we should have an article about her. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
