Most of the claims of notability in the article seems to be resting on theorem 1 of his paper in an obscure Ukrainian journal, which claims an upper bound of O(n/log&nbsp;n) for the prime gaps near a number ''n''. The prime gap problem is an important one, but this is just a bad result: not only is it is far weaker than what is conjectured about how large those gaps can be (see Cramér's conjecture) but it is also far weaker than upper bounds of the form O(n^c) for 1/2&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;c&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;1 that have been known since the 1930s (see Prime gap#Upper bounds). The other theorem in the paper does not seem to have a lot of importance. But since we're not really judging importance here, but notability, we should look at how many other people have taken note of it: no citations in Google scholar. There is really no way to judge his contributions to Knuth's AOCP, but Knuth is the only actual author of that work, and other minor contributions are not enough for notability here. As for : he's a Ph.D. student, and as with most Ph.D. students has not yet demonstrated any independent notability of a type that would pass . There are a reasonable number of citations in Google scholar for authors named "A. Shams" but they don't match the publications listed on http://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/~shamsbaa/ his web page so I'm pretty sure they're not his
