No evidence of passing WP:PROF or any other notability criterion. The minor award he has won is enough to save this from A7 speedy deletion, but not enough I think for notability. The main creator and editor of this article, {{user|4efrswm}}, claims to be the subject, so there is also a COI and autobiography problem here. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:13, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete for every reason given in the nomination. I have been looking at this one and its sources for quite some time and have never thought he passed the notability standards. Qworty (talk) 02:03, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete as lacking in depth coverage in reliable sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:24, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Delete no possible notability--the minor award is not sufficient. Aside from the mention of the award, and the link to his own web page, the references are all to his parents and his non-notable swimming hobby. DGG ( talk ) 18:36, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
