287:, with nearly 500 cites on Google scholar, an enormous number for pure mathematics) is under a different name than the one she uses now and under that same name she does have publications in PNAS, TAMS, etc., contradicting the nomination statement. In any case the nomination is bizarrely justified: it names specific honors that she doesn't have and journals she doesn't publish in rather than looking at what she has done. Anyone, even the most blatantly notable, could be criticized in the same way, because there's always going to be some specific honor that they haven't achieved. Additionally, I find the sudden appearance (on the article talk page) of three different IP-address editors with very few other contributions other than to try to delete one other female mathematician's article ( 390:
but then a very small number for all the rest of her papers. Eppstein's implication that I somehow have a bias against female mathematicians is insulting and wrong (especially since I am married to one!). I simply think these kinds of very weak, self-promotional Knowledge (XXG) entries are harmful. It seems like I am in the minority here. I accept that. But I would love to hear an explanation of how people think Bellow's detailed CV got entered into this page.

should have at least one. Bellow has none. As for journals, PNAS hasn't been a top journal in math for at least 50 years, and TAMS is a lower-tier journal - as is well-known and easy to check via impact factors (although I personally don't love these). Bellow has a lot of citations for a textbook,
