 * Delete. There might be notability here as an academic, but the article as written isn't showing or sourcing any — apart from one primary source verification of him winning a bronze medal at a high school math competition, which is not a notability criterion, the substance and sourcing here is stacked entirely onto his non-winning candidacies for provincial or federal office. But those aren't notability criteria either — to get a Wikipedia article, his notability would have to be piled and sourced onto the academic work. Which, again, it isn't.

 * Delete. He clearly fails WP:NPOL. Although we have kept some past articles on the basis of International Mathematical Olympiad performances, it usually takes multiple golds to do it — one bronze is definitely not enough. (Note, for instance, that in the 2017 contest, out of 615 participants, 48 took the gold, 90 silver, and 153 bronze.) —David Eppstein (talk) 20:02, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
