The subject does not seem to meet the notability guidelines for academics. Additionally, this article has no incoming links from the article namespace. —Bkell (talk) 15:11, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The notability seems essentially an administrator in Mathematics education, not in mathematics--I cannot find any published research papers in WoS.. Looking at the cv, she seems to have been managing editor of Selecta Mathematica a journal that is in JCR (and therefore notable). The role of Managing Editor is variable, but normally its more of an administrative not an academic position, but still worth considering. I am not able to judge the administrative positions, but there are certainly many of them. I would have said delete except for Fellow, AAAS, which  is probably  notable, "Election as a Fellow of AAAS is an honor bestowed upon members by their peers. Fellows are recognized for meritorious efforts to advance science or its applications."    DGG ( talk ) 01:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep A search on MathSciNet suggests that her research days are behind her (last reviewed publication was in 1992); however, I think she would pass WP:PROF criterion 4, judging from the numerous service awards and the effort she's put into mathematical teaching, with a possible pass of criterion 8 based on her role as managing editor of Selecta Mathematica. FYI: Her research cites from MathSciNet go 12,11,6,4,etc. She has also published as Amy Cohen, Amy Cohen Murray, or Amy C. Murray. Ray  Talk 17:55, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. We normally accept Fellow of the AAAS as a notability clincher, but it's not conspicuously clear that the subject actually is a Fellow. I can't find any variation of the name in the AAAS Fellows database (perhaps it's not complete), nor does the CV claim AAAS fellowship (though it does claim AAAS membership). I agree with DGG that this case turns pretty much entirely on this aspect. Is anyone able to verify Fellow status? Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 21:40, 28 October 2010 (UTC).
 * I'm not sure why she's not in the database, but the AAAS annual report from 2006 has her election as a fellow listed. Speaking of which, how big a deal is the AAAS (that is, the association for the advancement of science)? I've not heard of this AAAS before, although my memory may be conflating mentions of the other AAAS (American Academy of Arts and Sciences), which is a fairly big honor. I have heard of Science magazine, of course, but ... Ray  Talk 22:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
