Comment: According to the article, there is some effort to get Mr. Barnett a research position. That makes me think we should evaluate him as an academic. Our usual policy, per , is that people who are engaged in research aren't notable until they actually achieve "more than the average professor". The history of child prodigies is that not all of them actually turn into successful professionals. My opinion is that it is too soon to tell whether his work has had a "significant impact" on any field, which is the standard we would aspire to for a young researcher. Given that, I think that it is too soon for us to have an article on this person, and I think the '''article should be deleted''' until Mr. Barnett has established himself as a researcher. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl
