misleading title, the scientist Donna Strickland had had her page deleted before she won the Nobel prize and therefore did not have a page at the time she won the prize.

Wrote up a long description about how the equipment I used for my master's worked (fleshing out a stub article). Only to have some moderator (being extremely polite here) revert the whole thing because it was "uncited". When challenged I ended up getting temp banned for telling them "I know how it works I just built one". Haven't trusted or contributed since it's moving closer to a collective "what we want to know" information service which makes me want to invest more in an actual encyclopedia.

Easy enough to fix: "Nobel scientist's deletion from Wikipedia before rise to prominence points to wider bias" I wish news outlets would stick to reporting the news.
Surely publishing Nobel-level work in your field means you have already "risen to prominence."
Why does this article about notability deletions not link the notability criteria of wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#...

No, that's the point, a woman doing such great work that she won the Nobel Prize had her profile deleted as "not notable".

Anyway, as an admitted pedant, even I didn't make a big deal of the title.

This is not some marvel movie.
If someone has won the Nobel prize they've been changing and contributing in a huge way to their field of interest for many years.
