I came across this article originally as a speedy candidate, as itd qualified for WP:G7 as the editor (User:Jamesaryder) blanked the page. The page has been subsequently re-created by a new account (User:Simonwallaceclark) and is identical to the original article, which makes me slightly concerned that this may be a case of WP:MEAT. In any case, there is a slight assertion of notability as the person has competed in a national competition, but I can't find any true coverage for this person to show that he'd ultimately pass our notability guidelines. It also doesn't help that the awards seem to be given out to multiple students- [http://www.ancq.com/ about 900 per year]. While I do commend Ryder for the awards and it is impressive, I don't know that these would really qualify him for notability as far as Wikipedia goes. I think that it's just WP:TOOSOON for an entry at this point in time. I'm tempted to just speedy this, but I wasn't entirely sure about whether or not the national awards would count towards notability or not. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - there's nothing significant about those awards and the inclusion of a one-off role as a mascot at a sporting event as "television" coverage shows this isn't a serious attempt at an article. Methinks someone is trolling. St★lwart¹¹¹ 11:36, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

:*Good to know- I know that some countries do have national tests or quizzes like this and they are considered to be something that would give notability, but I didn't know if these were of that type or not. (I think Africa has tests of this nature, which is why I hesitated and brought it to AfD.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:04, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

::*Absolutely. Good call under the circumstances. St★lwart¹¹¹ 07:22, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

• Speedy delete per WP:CSD#A7. There is nothing significant about achieving "high distinction" in these national quizzes. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as A7. This is an attempt at humor by a single purpose account, {{user|Simonwallaceclark}}. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:00, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

:*Yeah... if anyone wants to tag it as vandalism or a hoax, I'm all for it at this point because the edits are starting to get ridiculous. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:00, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
