Doesn't really seem notable to me. While his work has been impressive, it doesn't really seem noteworthy enough for an article to me. StringTheory11 (t • c) 16:40, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Kept . The page should be kept because it has won prestigious international prizes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User1215 (talk • contribs) — User1215 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Kept. I believe the article should be kept. The ISEF Best in Category Award is extremely prestigious at the international level and coupled with the fact that he was a finalist in another international competition (Google) shows notability. Plus he has publications to back up the achievements and establish legitimacy to the research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asdfymb (talk • contribs) — Asdfymb (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete Agree with TOOSOON. All claims of notability occurred in the last 12 months or so. These are prestigious awards within the context of high school science, but not sure they prestigious enough for a Wikipedia article. Someone in the edit comments suggested it is notable by way of "criteria #2 for Academics" which says "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." Well not sure "highly" counts here, in particular when you consider the ISEF award was just one in many categories, and even within that category the award was shared with someone else for a different project. The Gordon E. Moore award ($75,000) and Young Scientist Award ($50,000) might have a claim to "highly" significant, but did not win in those categories. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:03, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree with previous comments. The multiple awards and publications won are on an international level and contribute a lot to the scientific community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Researchsci84 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)  — Researchersci84 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Weak Delete I agree with the other editors that it is a bit too soon for this subject. He hasn't quite received the substantial coverage in reliable independent sources that Wikipedia rules require, but his accomplishments are certainly impressive.
