Marion Cohen
Vanity page about an academic, full of stuff like "Cohen describes herself as "math prof / mathematician / poet / writer / classical pianist /thrift-shopper / mother / grandmother / scrabbler extraordinaire".  Sure, a sucessfull career as an academic, but unless having a job euqals notability, there's not much of substance here.  Sometimes I'd speedy stuff like this, but there's already been some talk page discussion so I figure it's best to give this one some discussion in case there's disagreement.

 * Comment: contributed by User:MathStatWoman, as were Roberta Wenocur and Daniel Wagner Associates. I had nothing to do with nominating this article. Gazpacho 00:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't know enough about her area to comment on whether Cohen is a notable mathematician, but references cited in women in science suggest that women mathematicians/physicists working prior to the mid-1970s are pretty unusual. The article could certainly do with a clean up. Espresso Addict 01:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
