This page is very short but the person it talks about is very important. The article can be added onto to make it more well-written and descriptive, but Sandor Lehoczky is a very important person. He is an author of several important books, and is the co-founder of the Mandelbrot Competition. Is that not important?

If the person is obviously important, then put more sources, please. No offense but I'm not convinced that the person is important. Unless there are sources about the person that shows the person's importance other than just sites, then please, put them. --esanchez, Camp Lazlo fan! 02:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

We don't know. The only sources you've given us are primary sources — sources directly controlled by or affiliated with the subject. If you can give us a bit more context, like a list of books he's writeen, articles from reliable sources about him and so on, you'll improve your case greatly. If he has a bio page on Mandelbrot's web site, link to that too. Right now, the only reason we have to believe he's important is because you say so. We need more than that. If you need help, let me know. Realkyhick 02:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE: I only found two books by Sandor Lehoczky, and no news and very few Google hits about him. I'm not convinced about his notability. Realkyhick 02:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Sandor Lehoczky is one of the directors of the Art of Problem Solving and is noted on the artofproblemsolving.org website as a director. He proposed problems for the USAMTS, which is one of the ways you can be invited to take the AIME, and ultimately, be a USA Mathematical Olympiad team member. That is important! Anyways, even though he wrote only two books, those are very well-written books. Take Mary Shelley. She wrote one book, Franknestein, and that made her famous. Why shouldn't Sandor Lehoczky be noted for his books? Read the Art of Problem Solving books. They are very well-written. I read them myself. Stanley.cai 01:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
