 * Keep. Numerous awards, fellowships. Why would you nominate an article for deletion if you think the person might be notable? Pburka (talk) 22:57, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Do student awards make one notable?
 * I see one hits from google news from 2015. Looks like a nitch publication Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:42, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * As the nominator, you have a responsibility per WP:BEFORE to explain why the awards and fellowships included in the article shouldn't count towards notability. As it is, you've provided no reason the article should be deleted. Pburka (talk) 17:49, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

•	*Keep. Anybio says about notability of a person: “The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.” The article mentions these significant awards/honors: 1) 2011 – Elected Fellow of Fitzwilliam College 2) 1998 - National Science Talent Search Award Merit Winner 3) 2003 – Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC) Book Prize.  The article also mentions a few other awards/honors but whether they are significant awards is a matter of debate.  I do agree with User:Pburka  who said: “As the nominator, you have a responsibility per WP:BEFORE to explain why the awards and fellowships included in the article shouldn't count towards notability. “  Please avoid causing others unnecessary work. desmay (talk) 01:09, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hum good point. Well I would not consider the student awards as showing notability the "Elected Fellow of Fitzwilliam College" does.
 * Will withdraw. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 19:06, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
