Fails WP:BIO. Insufficient significant coverage. His discovery was part of a distributed computing project meaning he just happened to be that lucky one who came upon it, which I do not believe is a notable achievement.  Triplestop  x3  01:08, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Marginal coverage for one thing only, so can add WP:BLP1E to the mix. Actually, he's not really known for this obscure mathematical find, let alone anything else. Quantpole (talk) 14:16, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, WP:BLP1E definitely applies here, as does WP:BIO. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 16:04, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find any news coverage of his discovery and even if there were some WP:BIO1E would apply. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:55, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
