This is a case of BLP1E. A very bright kid developed a 3-D solar cell. That's it. There's nothing more to say in a biography. B (talk) 05:20, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Agreed, BLP1E covers this down to a tee. Plus the guy in question is still a young person, making it even more important to be sensitive to the situation. - Jarry1250 [Vacation needed] 11:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Largely a crystal ball exercise, speculating on the potential future importance of the invention. Many people invent things every day which have the potential to be important. Others win scholarships. Too soon. Carrite (talk) 02:00, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, while not necessarily WP:NFT, fails WP:GNG; no significant coverage in media. hmssolent \Let's convene My patrols 04:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Definitely BLP1E; and it is not even clear what the event really was, as this article shows. The only search results I could find post-dating 2008 just parrot the original news. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:14, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
