None of the eight criteria at WP:NPROF applies to Augustine-Adams. It is true that she holds a named chair, but in my view she still does not satisfy criterion #5 because the BYU Law School is not an elite school that has the requisite "reputation for excellence and selectivity", as the specific notes say, like a Harvard or Yale would.  White Whirlwind  15:24, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think limiting notability of named professors to schools in the top ten is stretching the requirement for "excellence or selectivity". BYU Law School is ranked 28 in US News & World Report, that is enough of an indication of selectivity. DaffodilOcean (talk) 22:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Named professors at major US schools are almost always considered notable per C5. JoelleJay (talk) 19:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - named professor at top 40 law school, almost stereotypically stellar cv. Easily passes the PROF test and my standards for lawyers. Bearian (talk) 22:26, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. GS citation profile [1] is a bit thin with top citations 64, 62, 52, 41, 24 and an h-index of 12, so unless I'm missing something obvious we're resting on the named chair alone here? Also the profile link to BYU law school given in the article no longer works, it looks to be here now: [2] (and there might be some copying concerns).
