- ... that Piper Harron's 2016 mathematics doctoral thesis has been described as "feminist," "unique," "honest," "generous," and "refreshing"? "Piper Harron’s (2016) playful feminist Ph.D. ...", "it was its unique, honest, and vulnerable take on what doing mathematics is (and isn’t)", "Her dissertation offers a more generous approach...", "... the presentation is entertaining and refreshing."

- I shall review this. Schwede66 08:26, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- The original hook is fascinating; it really draws the reader in. There are a few issues, though. There's a maintenance tag that needs to be addressed. There's (non-straightforward) disambiguation required. The big issue that I have is the super-heavy reliance on direct quotes. Doing prose size the old fashioned way (in MS Word) and comparing the article "as is" and a version with all the direct quotes stripped, they make up a whopping 28%. There aren't hard and fast rules on this, but Wikipedia:QUOTEFARM recommends that "quotations should not dominate the article". In my view, that threshold has been crossed and the article should be reworked to get the proportion and number of direct quotes down. Beyond that, the article is new, long enough, and free of POV. Earwig expresses unhappiness ("Violation Possible: 45.4% similarity") but it's all the direct quotes plus the rather long book title. Suitably referenced. Regarding ALT0, the four sources are all good; note I have not checked ALT1 or ALT2. So, there's a bit of work to do. AFAICS, the nominator has two previous DYks so a QPQ is not required.

- I've added section headings (although I don't feel they're necessary in a relatively short article), and I've pared down the quotations. I'm reluctant to paraphrase the author too much, as I don't wish to inadvertently distort her message. I'm going to have to do some more research to figure out the correct disambiguation for real space. Let me know what you think. pburka (talk) 18:11, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- . The article is currently at AFD. Desertarun (talk) 20:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- AfD closed as "no consensus", and no significant changes have been made to the article since Schwede66's review, so restoring their review tick. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:27, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
