Why Nobel winner Donna Strickland didn't have a Wikipedia page

[PoliticAverse]

2. I was curious why a Nobel prize winner was only an "associate" professor.

So I did some research and found this article: http://fortune.com/2018/10/02/donna-strickland-nobel-prize-professor/
containing:

Academic-minded wags tweeted out reasons why the University of Waterloo had yet to name Strickland—one of only three women recipients of the Nobel Prize for Physics and the first woman to win since 1963—a full professor. One joked that the school’s promotions and tenure committee thought she “didn’t do enough university service.” Another guessed that the scientist had been dinged for canceling “class just to go to some awards show abroad.” A third suggested that she “needed at least one more” publication—preferably, as another tweeter offered, in a top-five journal.

Strickland herself seemed to quell any insinuation of sexism in a BBC interview today, saying that she’d “always been treated like an equal [to male scientists] in her career.” When when asked directly why someone with her achievements and esteemed reputation wasn’t holding a full professorship, she answered simply, “I never applied.”
