Notability

[edit]

The general policy is: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.". Moore's work with Black in Marine Science has received coverage in Penn Today, Massive Science, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, although two of those focus more on the perspective of another activist involved.

The most significant coverage of Moore herself that is cited right now would be this Phys.org profile about her and her research on forests. (This article can also be found in the Seattle Times in a different form, but as it's by the same author and seems to be mostly the same content, that wouldn't be an additional independent source.)

I dug a bit more in that area and just found this article from the (Greenwood) Index-Journal, on the same general topic, which does appear to be independent of the other two. So those two together on her environmental science research would clear the significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources criterion. The notability question would then be whether Phys.org (or the Seattle Times) and the Index-Journal are sufficiently good news outlets. The Index-Journal seems to frame its coverage as a hometown-hero sort of story, since Moore is from there; does that raise independence-of-subject concerns?
