Delete. There's nothing in the citation record, minor awards, academic rank, or anything else to suggest a pass of WP:PROF, so I think we should look to WP:GNG instead. But of the two independent news stories cited as sources in the article, the Paramatta Sun one ("EDUCATION WEEK: Help with numbers for Glenwood pupils") doesn't even mention Gervasoni, whileThe Australian ("Teach children to master maths, then count economic blessings") is labeled as an editorial and mentions Gervasoni only trivially in one sentence that also makes clear that it is not written independently of the subject. ("We designed the program with Bob Perry of Charles Sturt University and Ann Gervasoni from Monash University, to support the mathematical knowledge and skills of three to five-year-olds from disadvantaged backgrounds as they prepare to start school.") So she doesn't pass GNG either. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:22, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
