In September 2018, British physicist Jessica Wade created an article on the English Wikipedia about , but this was deleted on February 11, 2019. On April 12, The Washington Post published an op-ed about, in part, the English-language Wikipedias lack of coverage given to Phelps contribution to the discovery of element 117. The column, co-written by Wade, decried discussions among volunteer editors at the site that resulted in deletion of the article on Phelps. According to an article in the July 2019 Chemistry World, "her name didnt appear in the articles announcing tennessines discovery. She wasnt profiled by mainstream media. Most mentions of her work are on her employers website – a source that's not classed as independent by Wikipedia standards and therefore not admissible when it comes to establishing notability. The [Wikipedia] community consensus was that her biography had to go." The deletion was contested multiple times. By January 2020, there was a consensus to restore it, as by then new sources had become available.
