Contested PROD. If not a hoax, this is totally non-notable. "WHA" was said in early versions to be the "World Hacker Association", about which I can find no reference but this content-less page. The link provided goes to Computerworld, where I find no mention, even when you search the site, of WHA, or of Muhammad Aanish Ayaz, the supposed winner. Searches found a list of Top 10 Pakistani Hacker Teams, but it bears no relation to this.

The article history shows a number of IPs tinkering with the names on the list and their order, which strongly suggests that there is no official announcement, just a bunch of guys playing games. The supposed winner, who was only second in the first version of the article, has been trying to post about himself here at Muhammad Aanish Ayaz Farrukh and User:Aanish Ayaz.

 * Delete clearly not notable. Looks like some sort of personal essay or post, and should be removed as per WP:NOT. FuriouslySerene (talk) 20:25, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Plain case, could have been speedied IMO. I couldn't find any information about the people or the event. The linked website's last news article about Pakistan was from November 30. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 02:50, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - notability of this (alleged) competition not established. SJK (talk) 08:44, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
