 * Keep Based on her bio at the center . Dozens of publications,media appearances,  and some awards. Another modest academic, not only not just another  professor--but--as it happens--not a professor at all. (the article title will be changed after the AfD: "research investigator" is very not specific . Her degree is in communications, so the qualifier should be (Communications studies). I've suggested to the author that he upgrade the article but if he doesn't, I will. DGG 04:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless strongly improved. To respond to User:DGG above, I think it's great that this individual has published a great deal, but there is zero assertion of notability per WP:PROF in this article.  Awards are a good start, but need to be added and cited.  More importantly the academic's work should be covered or critiqued by an independent source. -Markeer 13:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG and WP:NOT. Matthew 17:33, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Claims not verifyable, no reliable sources, no claims of notability. I note that the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania is an academic unit within the University of Penn. The link at the bottom of the page does not lead to Amy B. Jordan's faculty entry, it's a dead link.  Entering "Amy B. Jordan" into the APPC site's search box generates no hits at all, and Googling "Amy B. Jordan" site:upenn.edu generates a measly three hits, none of which indicate notability to me.  In other words, I'm unable to verify that Amy B. Jordan is on staff at the institute where she is supposedly a notable researcher. Whups, just how wrong can I be? Well, perhaps that's what happens when an article has no reliable sources.

 * Keep: I've added some more of her publications, having found some on Google Scholar (maybe someone else could add some more, it's not just a copy/paste operation): scanning that partial list, it would seem that her publications are cited fairly regularly. I also corrected the link to her profile, but was unable to discern how the link I put in originally went awry (disclaimer: I created this article when disambiguating Amy B. Jordan (astronomer)).
