Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Kane (mathematician)
We normally don't keep articles on academics based mostly on their undergraduate or earlier accomplishments, but there have been exceptions (Arthur Rubin comes to mind as one) and Kane's record of achievement in top-level contests is very exceptional. It also looks like he's on-track to a good academic career, although it may be a bit |too soon to have accumulated enough notability for that aspect of his life. As I hinted above, the CS publications can probably be judged fairly enough on their citation record and best-paper award record (the article doesn't mention it but he also has a 2005 Machtey Award, essentially a best student paper award), but that's problematic for the math publications because of the low citation rate in that field. I think that the quotes from the Morgan award citation are more telling there: "“Daniel’s first paper improves on a famous ''Annals of Mathematics'' paper by Paul Erdős" (''Annals'' is arguably the best journal in mathematics, and Erdős one of the top mathematicians of the 20th century), and (in a paper written as a high schooler) "He proved an open conjecture stated by a well-known number theorist several years before". They match my impression of the CS side: a little early, but already strong
