Submission declined on 11 January 2025 by Dan arndt (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO / WP:NPROF, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 09:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Shan Meltzer is a distinguished neuroscientist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Renowned for her groundbreaking work in somatosensory circuits, Dr. Meltzer's research focuses on the developmental principles of sensory neurons and the discovery of compartmentalized signaling pathways. ^[1] By using an integrative approach that combines mouse genetics, anatomical studies, physiological analysis, and behavioral research, Meltzer's work explores the key molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying somatosensory circuit assembly. These efforts have significant potential in understanding and treating nerve injuries, chronic pain, and somatosensory dysfunctions linked to various diseases.
