David Essner Mathematics Competition

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No evidence of notability; a local math contest, named after a local who died in a motorcycle accident. Wikipedia is not a memorial service. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This isn' a memorial service to David Essner, it's just an article informing about a math competition. JONJONBT Talk to me!  20:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete- MathCounts is a notable math competition. I'm not sure a competition limited to a single county of schools really qualifies, at least not on that scale. -wizzard2k  ( C &#x2022;  T  &#x2022;  D ) 20:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - but author should add a reference to an independent source. Capmango 21:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a competition for a scholarship within a single school district is not notable. If kept, the bio of the nominee should be removed (28th in the Putnam competition is not notable, not even as a section of an article) as well as the details about the awards..  Neither are encyclopedic, and are fit only for a web site. (I don't want to remove content during an AfD) DGG 03:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per DGG's comment, or if appropriate, consider merging into Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Not certain if that is the right article for a merge, as I am not familiar with the US school system.  Adrian  M. H.  17:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
