Vanity page. Non-notable outside the high school math competition community (if it can be called a "community"). Aerion//talk 02:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, I don't think it's speediable, he made a believable claim to notability, but I don't believe winning that contest is notable enough for an article. - Mgm|(talk) 09:48, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
    • He did make a claim to notability, and a very impressive claim at that. His notability is such that I had heard of him before seeing this article, and there is very little dispute that the USAMO is the most prestigious American high school math competition. However, I wouldn't call its fame widespread (I get questioned all the time when I wear my "I survived the USAMO" t-shirt, usually by people wanting to know what the USAMO is, immediately followed by people wanting to know why I would ever wear such a shirt). So I don't think that placing top 12 once is enough to establish the level of notability required for a Wikipedia article. Maybe four times is enough, like Tiankai Liu or Reid Barton.
