Here's an odd case for y'all. The article's subject apparently saw this and remarked on the talk page that they didn't believe themselves to be notable. The references don't do much to convince one that he is notable, so here we are. (I'm considering this a procedural nom) Beeblebrox (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep as notable whether he thinks so or not. Google news has stuff on him and the well-sourced article and awards speak for themselves. Is he contesting any of the facts? Or demanding it be removed? If not... welcome aboard Justin.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't care less whether or not he wants it, but I do not consider the awards in the article major ones, and I see no other accomplishments that might be considered notability.DGG (talk) 04:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm a great admirer of Michael's effort's to rescue articles, but I don't think it's going to work this time. Let's take a look at those Google News results, using the information in the snippets listed by the results:
 * A news wire report saying that he's going to appear on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire college edition.
 * his name listed on his high school honor (I still cringe when I have to leave out the "u", but I have to follow WP:ENGVAR) roll printed in a local newspaper (catchment area population c. 175,000).
 * A 614-word article in the same newspaper not about the subject but containing a quote from him.
 * A passing mention in a university newspaper that he helped to organise a student film festival.
 * A wire report about someone doing a talk at a university in which the subject is quoted.
 * A wire report about student housing which focuses on his roommate but mentions the subject in passing.
 * So what do we know about the subject? His age (to within a year), where he was educated, that he helped organize a student film festival, that he appeared on a trivial TV show and that he shared a room at college with two other people. Is that enough to base an encyclopedia article on? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:32, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Struck my "keep". This fellow has a long carrer ahead of him and the article will be welcomed back when he wins an award someone considers notable enough or gets expanded coverage for his actions outside his college community. I know when to use the spurs and when the bit. No prob.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
