*Delete fails

• Keep - I am finding significant coverage (
  Newspapers.com, ~1400 in Gale Research, several books mentions), where she is often quoted as a political analyst and expert on California politics. She's also a contributor to several news agencies. Finding an independent source for biographical details, though, seems like it might be the main challenge. -- Netoholic @ 12:41, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Dunno as per User:Netoholic Faculty bio [1] can be used to improve the page. Her [ https://bedrosian.usc.edu/files/2013/05/SBJ_Publications_List.pdf Publications list] shows that she does political analysis in the media, not scholarlarly articles, not books. My searches turn up nothing that is about her beyond boilerplate interview identifiers, NPR: "We're joined by USC Political Analyst Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, who's in Burbank. Good morning.

• I agree it wouldn't be an inclusion on academic output grounds, but more as a media personality (hence my GNG vote). She has a LOT of appearances, which makes searching for biographical substance difficult. -- Netoholic @ 19:22, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete We need some sort of sourcing beyond the fact that she is interviewed as an expert. At this point she fails
