Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because <Karen Wynn is a sufficiently notable person. She has given numerous interviews in the popular press, for example:

NPR All Things Considered Weekend Edition on May 9, 2010 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126653606, and on BBC radio.

Karen Wynn and her research have been featured on numerous science television shows, including:

1. The Human Spark with Alan Alda, which aired on PBS January 20, 2010 (see http://www.pbs.org/wnet/humanspark/episodes/program-three-brain-matters/video-full-episode/418/ );

2. the National Geographic Explorer show that aired Sept 19, 2007;

3. a Discovery Channel documentary on human babies that aired in 2002;

4. a London BBC television documentary on mathematical thought and education in 1997;

and others.

Her work was featured on the front page of the New York Times on August 27, 1992; and in the New York Times online in December, 2007; see http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/04/health/research/04beha.html

Moreover, Karen Wynn's ideas and research have been highly influential in the field of psychology. Her 1992 Nature paper has been highly cited, receiving nearly 1000 citations (Google Scholar count). Her total citation count for all of her published works is about 4000 (Google Scholar), and she has many papers with citation rates exceeding 100. Her work on infants' early numerical competence has been quite influential: It is standardly cited in general textbooks of Introductory Psychology.

In recognition of this influence, she has received Awards by notable organizations, including the American Psychological Association, and, most notably, the National Academy of Sciences, to officially recognize the significance and importance of her research accomplishments.

Thus, the subject satisfies both criteria 1 and 2 for notability of academics, as specified on the Wikipedia Notability: Academics page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28academics%29#Citation_metrics.
