Comment: none of the awards appear to be notable? Theroadislong (talk) 15:54, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Too many citations. This tends to discourage volunteers from reviewing drafts, and makes accurate and full review difficult and time-consuming.Too many awards for my taste, are you sure all those awards are significant in some part? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: She may be notable, but that's not proven here. I think the claim that "She founded the field of quantum computing, cryptocurrencies and cybersecurity" is a particularly extravagant one, since she isn't mentioned in the articles on any of these topics.
