Subject is a non-notable undergraduate student at Florida Institute of Technology: I did a due search for significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources and did not find it. Biogeographist (talk) 20:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Very much a PROMO article for a non-notable academic. This is what i can pull up [1], which is even puffier than the wiki article. Sourcing now in the article is non-RS, crypto pages and things that are red per Source Highlighter, very much non-RS. Oaktree b (talk) 21:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not seeing reliable independent sources for GNG, and little sign indeed of SNGs. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:47, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not enough reliable secondary sources for WP:GNG. I just counted one light article in all the sources that seems to qualify. Cursory web searches don't add anything. The article reads like a detailing of one young man's ventures into the fields he has chosen. Not ready for an encyclopedia just yet.

Delete: References are a wall of low quality cites; Florida Tech News may be the best and it's just a student paper. I didn't find anything else either. Truly incredible how much this young man has accomplished in his short time on earth but I think it's too soon. Oblivy (talk) 01:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Notability seems unlikely to arrive for a long time. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:43, 30 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. More of a wishlist for an ambitious undergraduate than a biography of an already-accomplished person. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:43, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Agree with Nom and six previous "Delete" !votes, adding that Wikipedia is not intended to be a resume or vanity listing. Article fallacy: For those that can't get their names in neon lights -- there is always Wikipedia. I would wager the listing is not actually too soon and more likely a snowball chance-- Otr500 (talk) 05:01, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, and for additional reasons. My main concern is the lack of significant coverage. This basic rule requires that “multiple” sources exist - at least 2 or 3 - especially for BLPs. In fact, having only one source is equivalent to original research, which we’ve never, ever published, because we are not a primary source, and in 2024 everyone knows that. A college newspaper can be a reliable source, but if it’s the only source, it’s likely because the subject has friends who are on the staff. I’d also add in that very few undergraduates are notable. I can think of exactly one we’ve kept at AfD: comedian Adam Mamawala, who received national recognition when still a college student. Bearian (talk) 01:25, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Additionally the first sentence is a huge red flag. Writing "analogue astronaut" would be like me putting "Wikipedia editor" on my resume. SecretSpectre (talk) 09:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
