Subject appears to be non-notable academic. Published papers are not notability, and I cannot find evidence of many citations of said papers. The awards listed in the article do not appear to be notable, either. Google returns the PR reports linked to the awards in the article and social media sites. I'm not even sure what to make of the 'Medal record' in the infobox.

Additionally, the article appears to be created and edited principally by Mr. Nejat, first from an account bearing his name and then from anonymous IPs after COI was pointed out to him. The IPs only edit this article and others touched the Nejat account. » scoops “ 5x5  „ 00:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

I read the bio, some of those awards are impossible to win Are you feeling jealous about it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:5FC0:3B:50C0:F7DF:3B8D:6726 (talk) 02:30, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

According to Notability_(academics), Victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements (at either high school, undergraduate or graduate level) do not qualify under Criterion 2 (highly prestigious academic award) and do not count towards partially satisfying Criterion 1 (The person's research has made significant impact). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.254.85 (talk) 03:16, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Zero citations in Google scholar. WP:TOOSOON to have demonstrated academic impact (WP:PROF) or any of the other academic notability criteria. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:10, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete All I see is a huge listing of medals with the only information being their color. This is clearly autobiographical and premature.   No indication of impact for any of his publications.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:10, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
