I'd say we need to use the usual resources to figure out whether she or her blog gets the most coverage, and craft an article for whichever subject it is.

(I know I'm a meanie, Sarah; but I'm an equal-opportunity wet blanket, quashing ideas about things I love as well as those I don't care about and those I despise, if I think they don't qualify.)

Oh Michael, the bearer of bad news about people who generally want to write new articles on this mailing list.

Is there another article where we think this type of coverage or content could be placed? I think we could even build an article about I Fucking Love Science instead.

I still question if it's officially not worth an article, I haven't researched it yet. But, at this point I'm a "pro" at making people most declare non-notable rather notable based on research. (Oh the curator in me!)

It's appalling and depressing; but if somebody were to write a Wikipedia article about it, at this point, I'd say it fails WP:NOTNEWS.

Did anyone see this? A popular blogger on Science (with more than 4
million followers) is a woman. The woman herself, Elise Andrew, had no
idea it was a secret, and she was "outed" when she announced her
twitter account featuring a picture of herself. Apparently the bias
occurred because of the swear word on her facebook page which made
readers assume she was a man. Interesting conclusion! This is a
facebook hype that deserves a WP page, no?
