Ciprian Preda

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Unable to find any sources to verify the contents of the article, other than the fact that he teaches at UCLA. Nothing about his work as an educator meets WP:PROF, his claim to notability is his second place finish at the International Physics Olympics and being among 20 winners at another International Physics Olympics. Searching using both International Physics Olympics and International Physics Olympiad led to no conformation that either of these awards are true. I'm not saying that he didn't place as I can't find who won but this information needs to be verifiable. — J04n(talk page) 13:48, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Negligible GS cites. Too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:54, 20 November 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete Quite probably true that he won a gold medal at an international competition for secondary school students. However, that does not constitute notability. I was able to find a Ciprian Preda on MathSciNet, with 27 citations total over 41 papers, which is a straight case of "not yet notable." Ray  Talk 15:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. With 41 publications in MathSciNet he's obviously an active mathematician. But I can't find the evidence of impact needed to pass WP:PROF and he appears to be only adjunct faculty at UCLA, so I don't think WP:PROF is met. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
