Main notability as IMO coach, so needs independent reliable sources which talk about the subject in detail. Can't verify he passes WP:GNG or WP:PROF Solomon7968 05:24, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. The many major national and international teaching awards he has won are probably enough for WP:PROF and #C4, and the citations for these awards provide nontrivial in-depth coverage of the subject from multiple notable organizations independent of the subject, giving him a pass of WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:04, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * PS I restored some material to the article on a recent arrest on child pornography charges, which had been removed because the previous sourcing was insufficiently reliable for this sort of material. I found two more-reliable sources for the same incident. I'm skeptical that there is enough coverage, and enough long-term coverage, for him to pass notability via WP:PERP, but I think he's notable for other reasons and that this is an important part of his life story. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:38, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
