I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: With her two ACS awards she qualifies under WP:NPROF#C2 and perhaps also C7. The draft should probably have been accepted earlier. Please add a scientist Infobox.

The two following pieces of text are examples of lazy writing and use of references:

In 2013, Sheila DeWitt was featured in the C&E News cover story, "Female Entrepreneurs: Facing challenges beyond science and business."
DeWitt is featured in Famous Organic Chemists by the American Chemical Society. In 2025, DeWitt was awarded two awards by the American Chemical Society: the Kathryn C. Hach Award for Entrepreneurial Success and the Gertrude Elion Medicinal Chemistry Award

What interests Wikipedia is not "that DeWitt was so featured". What is needed is what was said about DeWitt in reliable sources. It is of marginal interest that DeWitt was featured, but what was said I the features is of substantial interest 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:04, 20 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Further:

Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) announced Sheila DeWitt as the 2012 Buzz of BIO winner at the corresponding BIO International Convention.

If this award is in and of itself notable it ought to appear in Biotechnology Innovation Organization. If it is not notable then this line is puffery. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:11, 20 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
