Deprodded without explanition or addressing the concern which was:

Not notable. Ref consists of an entry in a table, presumably a list of winners but a primary source and not enough for article. No reliable secondary sources and a search turns up very little, at least in English. JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 20:25, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

there is added new article as reference. --Backij (talk) 17:50, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Actually, his original surname is "von Burg" since his father is Swiss, but because he's been living in Serbia where they have a phonetic letter, his surname in Serbian reads as "fon Burg". Being the actual No. 1 in the IMO Hall of Fame, Teodor von Burg has deserved his article in the Wikipedia. MagdavonBurg (talk) 18:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)MagdavonBurg
 * Keep. I added several new references, all from very reliable sources. His surname reads Fon Burg, so the article should be moved to Teodor fon Burg; while his descent is obviously German, it should be respelt according to Serbian rules. Googling for "Teodor fon Burg" reveals hundreds of media references. No such user (talk) 08:30, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not convinced by the IMO hall of fame listing, because it's too brief to count for WP:GNG (just a name and some numbers), despite his high position in the list. But the B92 and Blic stories look like enough depth of reliable coverage. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. He is very important in mathematics competitions because he is first in hall of fame for more than 50 years. --Djordjes (talk) 11:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
