Notability edit

@Missimack: on your tag about notability, given Joseph's prominence within Ireland's discourse on racism and BLM in the Irish context, I think judging notability as an academic alone is not a good measure. Even since I started this article in early June, Joseph has consistently been called on as a commentator on BLM and racism in Ireland. Also, being the co-founder of a whole new academic teaching discipline in a country surely goes a long way even if you insist on sicking purely to academic notability guidelines?

@Smirkybec She is a minor lecturer who does a small amount of lecturing and has extremely little academic impact or citation. There are many academics who are in the media far more who don't have Wiki pages including in sociology eg. Niamh Hourigan. Aerchasúr (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2020 (UTC)AerchasúrReply

I'd be interested to see by what measure you are gauging "extremely little" as regards academic output, and raise some points against notability beyond what-about-ery. You'll also note that the notability tag was removed by another editor as unwarranted, and the article has since been expanded further. Smirkybec (talk) 22:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
