Fails GNG. She's currently a PhD student, and there's no independent coverage that would substantiate her inclusion on Wikipedia, as commendable as her actions are. Her only apparent publication, "Implementing a 15-week AI-education program with under-resourced families across 13 global communities", has not been cited a single time. As for general coverage, I found the following: an article discussing aid in Cameroon, and not just Fofang's initiative; a single sentence within an article that is a list of women promoting STEM education in Africa; a single sentence stating she will participate in a 3D printing event; a blog post describing her among several "African women in tech"; another 3-sentence paragraph in another blog post about Girl's education in Cameroon; This one is the best one I could find. A Reuters article about "getting Cameroon's women into work", mentioning her thrice among other initiatives, and quotes her once. Summing up, she fails general notability, not to mention NACADEMIC. She certainly could become notable in a few years' time. PK650 (talk) 23:44, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. A Google search of the subject doesn't show her being discussed in reliable sources independent of her. As pointed out above, her publication was not discussed in reliable sources. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 15:02, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A worthy citizen of the world but no pass of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:15, 31 December 2019 (UTC).[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. While she know doubt is a wonderful person doing great work in the world, and we assume good faith that the creator means well, she's not a leading scholar in STEAM. I've taught forensics and STEAM for two decades, and am on the cusp of receiving my own graduate degree, and I've never heard of her until just now. We have almost never recognized non-tenured faculty as notable. Bearian (talk) 22:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
