Notability rests on two youth science awards, with most coverage essentially BLP1E. Passing mentions/quotes on papers published during his PhD are not significant, direct, or in-depth enough for GNG. An h-index of 5 (Scopus mistakenly curated his work with another researcher's, inflating citations) in this high-publication, high-citation field indicates he is very far from meeting NPROF C1, and none of the other NPROF criteria are applicable.

Delete. Far WP:TOOSOON for WP:NPROF for this current (recent?) PhD, though the citations are a good start. No other sign of notability -- in particular, the young scientist awards are given for promise, not for achievement, and do not contribute to notability.

comment I am not sure about this one, if we delete him then we probably have to delete all of these: Template:Young_Scientist_and_Technology_Exhibition as well, as far as I can tell all the other winners were even less impressive in their later career. Alexander at least became a junior researcher with some early success. On the other hand, winning a prize this early might convey notability since this is Europe-wide. --hroest 00:16, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

come to think about it, these are all only Irish winners and apart from Patrick Collison we probably should delete all of them. --hroest 00:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

hroest I didn't nominate Ciara Judge mainly since I just don't want to open that can of worms right now, but also because I wasn't sure if being named by Time as one of the "25 Most Influential Teens of 2014" contributed to SIGCOV outside of BLP1E. I would argue it's part of the same event put perhaps slightly later coverage is considered "sustained"? This pair (sharing a wiki article) almost certainly shouldn't be retained though.

JoelleJay but there is also Thomas Gernon, ~~Patrick Collison (2005)~~ , Aisling Judge (2006), Abdusalam Abubakar (2007), Emer Jones (2008), Liam McCarthy and John D. O'Callaghan (2009) all of which look very shaky and went on with quite normal lives (all except Patrick Collison). I see Ciara Judge is borderline but all of her awards are youth awards which generally do not count for NPROF but maybe for GNG, so I agree to leave her out of this for now. The others however do not look very notable to me. --hroest 03:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hannes Röst Yep I agree, except for Collison and maybe Judge the others should be brought to AfD as well. JoelleJay (talk) 05:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not meet our inclusion criteria for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:16, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:TOOSOON, although I don't doubt that this guy is likely to become notable in fairly short order. There are a good number of articles that mention him in recent years, but they are mostly in passing about some sort of publication (that doesn't seem to mention any substantial implementation). jp×g 03:09, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
