Clearly fails WP:PROF Markgall12 (talk) 20:14, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
This page has been nominated twice before. However, I believe it is rather clear-cut that the subject does not meet the criteria of WP:PROF. It is explicitly stated in the guideline that "Victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements (at either high school, undergraduate or graduate level) do not qualify under Criterion 2 and do not count towards partially satisfying Criterion 1."
Everything in the first paragraph is related to high-school and college level prizes. The "2010 Hoopes Prize" is non-noteworthy, as the prize is given to dozens of students every year, and often several in math alone. The results proved to win these prizes simply have not had "significant impact in their scholarly discipline". They appeared in a fairly low-ranked journal and have been cited all of 9 times in the last 7 years. Markgall12 (talk) 20:14, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

- Keep News sources said he is notable, not low impact scholarly journals, and you joined Misplaced Pages just to nominate him for deletion, so his article is not too obscure, it seems. MicroPaLeo (talk) 21:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- The articles say that he won prizes as a high schooler/undergrad, which are explicitly excluded per WP:PROF. Which of the 9 criteria in the notability standards do you feel are met?
- I have many more edits from another account, but am not using it for this. Not that it's relevant. --Markgall12 (talk) 22:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- The same ones that the Seattle Times, USA Today, and ABC News think are met.
- I thought you could only have one Misplaced Pages account, can I create a second one for deletion discussions, also, is that correct? How can anyone tell if you voted twice in the same discussion, then? MicroPaLeo (talk) 22:21, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- All of these sources note that he won various prizes for a high schooler. It is extremely explicit that these awards do not meet notability criteria. --Markgall12 (talk) 22:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm, I don't know the account rules. Maybe I will be banned, so I'll refrain from voting. But it is pretty clear from the standards that this article is non-notable. --Markgall12 (talk) 22:28, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I asked at the Teahouse and read a link they provided, and it says, "Editing project space: Undisclosed alternative accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the project."

- Weak keep. Certainly fails WP:PROF (student awards do not satisfy those guidelines), and as yet has a low h-index. However, there is considerable news coverage of the prize, which probably satisfies WP:GNG. -- 120.23.174.141 (talk) 04:27, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
