This article is about an academically gifted student. It's sources fail to meet notability guidelines, and I can't find any extra sources to make this so. To illustrate, one of the "Notable Awards" listed is passing his first year of his degree. To add to this, the article seems largely written by the author himself, which most other edits cleaning it up or vandalising it. A notability tag has been on the page for weeks, no significant effort has been made to meet it's criteria.  AndrewJD  TALK  -- 15:02, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Is known for appearing in a TV show, Bright Young Things: Growing Up Gifted. If that show had an article, could merge/redirect there. But doesn't seem notable on his own. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. No claims of significant notability; fails to pass WP:ACADEMIC. —Psychonaut (talk) 20:22, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. The name's common enough to complicate a Google search; but searches such as ("gavin tucker" trinity), ("gavin tucker" lanesboro), and ("gavin tucker" gifted) turn up no in-depth coverage, apart from some very local coverage in the Longford Leader.  Given the size of Longford (population 7,622), a profile in the Leader doesn't seem to confer a great deal of notability.  Ammodramus (talk) 23:30, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
