Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arnav Tripathy
I rarely insert adjectives in front of "keep" or "delete", but I feel I should this time.  Arnav Tripathy may be an absolute genius, but he is ''not'' notable under Wikipedia guidelines.  The article makes numerous unjustifiable statement from the very sentence: "Arnav Tripathy is considered by many to be the best high school mathematician in the United States, and one of the top mathematicians in the world".  Well who are these many people?  Where is the source for this information.  To make such a statement, one must have quite a great deal to back it up. If one removes such statements, the article becomes nothing more than a collection of math competitions that Tripathy has won and lost.  Math competitions are very well and good, but winning a few does not make you notable.  If Tripathy had some sort of presence in the national media, he might well be notable, but winning math competitions is not an inherently notable feat.  As for his participation in the International Math Olympics, Tripathy didn't even finish in the top 10.  If indeed he is "one of the top mathematicians" in the world, why couldn't he manage to even place in the top 10 at a competition essentially designed for high school students? If Tripathy is notable, I would venture to say that the star players of every US state championship football team are notable.  I could go create 1000 such articles now, but that would be a gross violation of .  In any case, if Tripathy is notable so are about ten or twenty million other people.  I'm sure the guy's smart '''but he is not notable'''.—&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
