Rather good high school math student. Significant independent sources do not exist for the subject. The best I could find was [http://www.hindustandainik.com/news/5922_2128261,0015002500010002.htm this]. Does not satisfy notability, delete. ~ Eóin (talk) 00:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. I'm sorry, but I think a high school math competition is pretty much trivial. Delete per nom. Cquan ^{(after the beep...)} 00:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Just as a note, COI is just a factor and NOT a deletion criterion. Notability is the main thing. Cquan ^{(after the beep...)} 02:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as obviously nonnotable, and obvious WP:COI issues. Cirt (talk) 03:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, these are obviously much more important in certain Asian cultures than in the West, but I still don't really think we should consider this sort of award notable due to the sheer number of competitions and awards. --Dhartung | Talk 04:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Created by User:Danish14011992, so there are obvious WP:COI issues. Anywars, it is non-notable; I couldn't find any reliable sources. — Wenli ^{(reply here)} 02:43, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep sorry to disagree, but if the international competition was notable (which I am not sure of) , then being the first place winner in it is notable. Most high school competitions of course arent, but the first international place in a subject is. That wont come to many high school students.DGG (talk) 04:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

::''Respected Sir,

::First of all I am Mr. Rakesh Singh. I am writing it because some of the people on my wikipedia talk page have claimed that I am Danish myself. This is definitely untrue else this would have been self promotion. I am the current P.A. of Mr. Jagdish Gandhi(article on him is already present on wikipedia), the founder manager of City Montessori School,Lucknow.

::This article has been added to wikipedia to present forward the achievements of Danish Hasan who has been the most commendable student of the institution itself. His achievements are present on the article itself.

::Besides, as a reference, I would like to state that Danish is now well known in India and abroad for several reasons.

::(1) To be in the ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education Examination) prescribed Merit List is not a joke. He has secured 9th position among 1,586,547 candidates appearing for ICSE 2008 Examination.

::(2) He is Gold Medalist at International Mathematics Competition 2007, Singapore.

::(3) He secured All India 1st position in AAT 2006 in the subject Commercial Studies.

::(4) On 20-5-2008 Danish's interview was tsken live on 'Sahara Rastriya', Indian Hindi news channel.

::(5) His ICSE achievement was published in over 15 newspapers.

::Sir if you still hold any doubt about the reliability of the text, I can email you all his certificates & cuttings from newspapers at your email address. So kindly send me your email address on our account for Danish - danish14011992@gmail.com

::Lastly, you can check out the official website of CMS- www.cmseducation.org/

::City Montessori School(CMS) is itself the Guiness Record holder for maximum number of students in a single college. Rest you can check out on the website.

::Thanking you,

::Rakesh Singh.

• Delete. A Gold Medal at an international mathematical olympiad is quite impressive but it is still, neverthelesss, a high school level competition and, IMO, is not, in and of itself, a sign of notability. Similarly, most National Spelling Bee winners do not get separate WP articles and I feel that the same principle should be applied here. He may well go on to become a notable scientist in the future, but for now, does not satisfy WP:BIO (and certainly does not satisfy WP:PROF). Nsk92 (talk) 17:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
