Hi AbdulRahim2002. First, it looks like you didn't tag SafariScribe in your response, so they may not have seen it.

It does look like you've added some content since the initial review, but I recommend adding more. Start by finding some additional sources. For example, is there an article specifically focused on Khan's contributions? Or perhaps an article specifically about kselftest and how popular it is?

And yes, Linux is used everywhere, but notability is not inherited.

I hope this is helpful! = paul2520 💬 20:27, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241008202700","author":"Paul2520","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Paul2520-20241008202700-AbdulRahim2002-20241006174600","replies":["c-Paul2520-20241008203900-Paul2520-20241008202700"]}}-->

AbdulRahim2002 After reading the ZDNet article in more detail, I think you should expand based on that. You should also mention CommunityBridge, which is mentioned in that piece.

Since she is the third Fellow after Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman, I think there is a strong case for notability. That would also make for an interesting Did you know... hook. I would be happy to help with that nomination once the article is ready. = paul2520 💬 20:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241008203900","author":"Paul2520","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Paul2520-20241008203900-Paul2520-20241008202700","replies":["c-AbdulRahim2002-20241009215600-Paul2520-20241008203900","c-AbdulRahim2002-20241012225400-Paul2520-20241008203900"]}}-->

@AbdulRahim2002: I think these definitely help! You could mention that she has presented at the Linux Kernel Developers Summit (at least) those three times & cite those.

Another source I just found: [1]. = paul2520 💬 23:36, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241009233600","author":"Paul2520","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Paul2520-20241009233600-AbdulRahim2002-20241009215600","replies":["c-AbdulRahim2002-20241010105500-Paul2520-20241009233600"]}}-->

There is a lot of useful information in interviews.

I previously cited them, but it was removed by SafariScribe because of Wikipedia:Interviews, but it is mentioned in the same page that:

It is okay to use interviews to source some facts. Interviews may sometimes be the best or clearest sources, especially for biographical or personal information.

I also noticed that articles on developers generally cites blogs and technical documents.

For example: Greg_Kroah-Hartman and David_S._Miller.
