Certainly an outstanding Cambridge student but not notable otherwise. Most of the sources are unreliable (blogs, forums, ...) and the tone is unencyclopedic with many peacock terms. Mark91it's my world 10:04, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom + sources regarding the subject seem to be primary sources (including few from forums - a big 'no no') instead of secondary reliable sources. -- MST ☆R ^{(Happy New Year!)} 11:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: a bunch of high school awards and academic degrees (even fairly prestigious ones) do not notability make. --JBL (talk) 14:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly a very intelligent and capable young man who oozes potential. Call me when he realises any of it. Delete. Rubiscous (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- He may be briliant and have won prizes, but that does not make him notable. I suspect this is autobiography. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:ACADEMIC is very explicit that student prizes are insufficient for establishing notability in an academic setting. There have been numerous other AfDs that upheld this interpretation specifically when it comes to students performing well at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
