Contested draftification of a mildly promotional bio. Sources do not support the subject's notability under WP:GNG/WP:NBIO. They are the subject's own writing ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) and official bios and thus WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs ([6], [7]) -- there is no WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable, independent sources. She does not seem to be widely cited or meet any other criteria of WP:NACADEMIC, and she does not meet WP:NAUTHOR as far as I can tell (I see one independent review for one of her co-authored works, and we'd need more).

• Delete. Citations do not stand out among those by other Susans Bryant so I do not see a pass of WP:PROF#C1, and I searched for book reviews with even less success than the nominator, so I do not see a pass of WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I can't decide at this moment, but I did find reviews of one of the books (also cited by NOM) and reports that she had authored (or co-authored). Her area of expertise (military strategy) isn't for a general audience. I am leaning toward delete however, due to a lack of independent sources. Lamona (talk) 07:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The article on Susan Bryant clearly meets Wikipedia’s general notability guideline GNG as well as subject-specific notability criteria for academics and professionals. The subject’s extensive contributions in military studies, strategic education, and public service are well-documented through independent, reliable secondary sources, making her a notable figure deserving of coverage.

  Notability through Independent Sources: Multiple reliable and independent sources substantiate Susan Bryant’s career achievements and scholarly contributions. These include her published work and her leadership in military education, as evidenced by sources like INSS Publications, AUSA.org, and Cambria Press. Such coverage demonstrates that her influence extends beyond routine professional activities and meets the GNG standard of “significant coverage in reliable sources.”

  Academic and Professional Impact: Bryant’s academic role at Georgetown University, as noted in GU Faculty360, and her leadership in strategic education highlight her significant contributions to public knowledge. Her scholarship is frequently cited, including critical analyses on military leadership and societal implications of military service, further proving her impact within the field.

  Policy-Driven Achievements: Bryant’s work on publications such as Deconstructing the Warrior Caste and From Citizen Soldier to Secular Saint reflects notable contributions to the scholarly and policy discourse on military and strategic studies. Such high-level intellectual engagement satisfies Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for academics, as her work is highly regarded and has been reviewed by other experts in the field.

  Reliable and Verifiable Content: The references provided in the article and the additional sources (e.g., Strategic Education International and TNSR Roundtable) confirm Bryant’s leadership roles and academic scholarship. This reinforces the article’s compliance with Wikipedia’s verifiability and reliable sourcing policies. 102.91.105.83 (talk) 11:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC) — 102.91.105.83 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Unfortunately, ChatGPT does not understand that the Georgetown faculty website or that her own company (Strategic Education International) are not independent sources that can confirm Bryant's leadership roles and academic scholarship.
