 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article survived an AfD from 2006 based on the fact that his Erdős number is 1, that he graduated from Caltech, and that he was a 4-time Putnam winner. The subject doesn't seem to meet WP:PROF standards though (winning the Putnam is excluded by the notes in Criterion 2) and also seems to fail WP:GNG (there is the referenced 1974 Madison Capital Times article but not much else). The fact that he may have been the youngest Putnam winner itself doesn't grant notability (prodigies would typically qualify by WP:GNG). — MarkH21 (talk) 05:42, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Withdrawal: I realized that I did not read the sixth AfD carefully enough to see the articles suggesting that the subject (perhaps barely) passes WP:GNG. I'd like to withdraw this AfD and apologize for wasting any editors' time in looking at this. I'll also go ahead and try to add those sources in to avoid — MarkH21 (talk) 05:46, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
