Andrew Gayle

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article describes student about to pursue PhD. Seems wholly not-notable except for his sole research paper which won a "JMR Paper of the Year" award from Cambridge Core/Cambridge University Press, but I'm not sure how prestigious that is. Other sources included are trivial (general articles that mention him in passing or not at all, or about his parents) and I couldn't find anything on Google News. Doesn't meet WP:GNG, unsure if meets WP:ACADEMIC (depends on award quality?) Blue Edits (talk) 06:39, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'd originally PROD'ed this one for largely the same reason it's been AfD'd now (I don't disagree with the change of "venue", either). My read on ACADEMIC is that it's designed around people who already have the doctorate and are working in or around the ivory tower instructing students - as in, Gayle's supervisor/s, rather than Gayle himself. A high-performing student moving into a PhD will almost certainly have something pretty decent on their CV, but the award listed here isn't the kind of thing to build a Wikipedia article around. There's also the fact that the award - regardless of quality - doesn't get him past GNG in and of itself. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:11, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:17, 9 June 2017 (UTC).

 * Delete - good luck, but doctoral students are dime a dozen. Unless he does something really unique, I can't see a brand new grad student passing the Prof test, and only very rarely does a college student get a Wikipedia article, e.g., Adam Mamawala, because it's far too soon.
