There's no way I can cite this but I know Dr. Stecke personally.
Much of this article is not cited so I don't see why this was removed for lack of citation, unless you have some evidence that it is incorrect.

If it's not cited it should not be in the article. See our policy on biographies of living people. And in general, unless the pronunciation is non-obvious, it should also not be in the lead; see our guidelines on when to include pronunciations in leads. As far as I can see, all of the body of the article is cited, and the lead only summarizes material in the body; if you think something is not cited, please let me know what it is. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:14, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To me the pronunciation is non-obvious. No way to find a source for it though. Human-potato hybrid (talk) 18:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen some people put up personal web pages saying something like "People often mispronounce my name. It should be..." If Stecke herself put up such a page, we could use it per WP:BLPSPS. So if you know her, and think this is likely to be an important issue to her, you could suggest that. (People often mispronounce my name but I don't particularly care; I can recognize it anyway.) —David Eppstein (talk) 19:55, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
