Dear article creator, thanks for writing this article, but could you please remove it. All the info is available on my home-page and it's a little bit embarrassing to have a wikipedia page on my level of mediocrity. Even worse, everybody will think I wrote it. And the picture is a horror, they forced us to wear the life vest. Thanks! Kind regards Karin Schnass
Dear other users, please nominate the article for deletion on grounds of irrelevance. There are many, many, many, much more interesting researchers, who do not have CVs online or homepages. A wikipedia page for these researchers would actually increase information. Thanks! Kind regards Karin Schnass 138.232.236.14 (talk) 08:47, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- While I agree that others such as Pierre Vandergheynst or Kjersti Engan may be more deserving of articles, the appropriate response is to add articles for them as well. I have unprodded the article, because I think that eventually we should have articles on all Start-Preis winners (we mostly don't, yet, but creating this article was intended as a step towards that goal). —David Eppstein (talk) 00:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- It seems to me that both the Wittgenstein Award and the Start-Preis are highly significant Austrian awards, both in terms of prize money and recognition. While nearly all of those who have received the Wittgenstein have Wikipedia articles in German and English, we seem to have a great deal of work to do on the Start-Preis. I'm sure Karin Schnass would feel more comfortable if the other 2014 recipients were also covered. I strongly suggest that the article should be maintained. I also encourage David Eppstein to continue coverage of award-winning mathematicians. As for the photo, I think it fits the article very well. Let's keep that too.--Ipigott (talk) 08:33, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Come on guys, be serious! Think of the woman in mathematics list featuring Emmy Noether, Maryam Mirzakhani and Karin Schnass. That is ridiculous! Other good reasons for deletion: 1) the wikipedia article does not [cannot, for lack of notability ;)] contain any information that is not available on my homepage or in the FWF-magazine for which I am the only source, ergo I am the only source for the article and surely that violates some objectivity criteria. 2) There is no list of ERC-grant winners. ERC grants are more competitive. 3) There is no list of NSF-career grant winners, surely that is also more competitive. 4) I did not verify this but I assume that most people whose work is actually cited on the dictionary learning page also do not have wikipedia entries!

- A list that included only those three women would indeed be ridiculous. But List of women in mathematics currently lists over 1000 women mathematicians. Also, it is (or at least should be) the case that all Wikipedia articles are derived only from public information. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:36, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- There is not much chance that anyone will think that Eppstein is a sock-puppet of Schnass. Photographs look very different.
- Intially, Schnass attacked herself. This does not invite confidence in her maths. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.204.140 (talk) 17:00, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
