Page fails to assert her notability. Also, the only source is her own website. She seems to be a regular college professor who has articles published in trade magazines Black Harry 08:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Almost always, the holder of an endowed chair at a research-based university in Canada or the United States is notable. --Eastmain 08:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. What Eastmain said. Janm67 10:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep "...has published in trade magazines"? Trade magazines like Communications of the ACM or ACM SIGPLAN '79 Symposium on Compiler Construction or IEEE Computer?[1] Also, as a woman who got her PhD at Stanford in 1971, that alone probably makes her notable as an early woman in CS. —Ben FrantzDale 12:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, clearly notable. JulesH 16:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep. Very well known among computer scientists. National Academy of Engineering member. ACM Fellow. Founding editor of TOPLAS. 2000 ACM SIGPLAN Career Programming Language Achievement Award. President of the Harvard Board of Overseers. (All from [2].) Co-chair of an NRC panel whose report made newspapers from San Francisco [3] to Taipei [4]. Heavily cited papers on fault isolation, compiler transformations, run-time profiling, high-performance Java implementation, compiler flow analysis, context-free parsing. Even further down on her cite list, this paper on what is now called Graham-Glanville code generation is a standard topic in compiler design, the subject of 14 papers with "Graham-Glanville" in their title. This is a major figure in computer science, standing out even among named chairs at important research universities. The article could be a lot more thorough, but that's not a reason for deletion. —David Eppstein 18:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep she is notable, but I suggest expansion of the article (not that I need to suggest that). Acalamari 18:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for all the reasons given above. Nobody should doubt the notability of a distinguished Professor at a major university like Berkeley. --Bduke 22:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- as reply to nom's "Page fails to assert her notability", how is this not a notable position: Graham is the (named chair:) Pehong Chen (far beyond average:) Distinguished Professor at (far beyond average university:) University of California, Berkeley --Myke Cuthbert 22:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Nominator appears to have made no attempt check notability using external sources. The word 'stub' at the foot of the page is a clue that the present article needs expansion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jonathan Luckett (talk • contribs) 09:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
