Comment - his claim to fame is winning a competition. We need a consensus as to whether this is in itself notable. Bearian (talk) 17:21, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly meets WP:ANYBIO #1. If we want to think of the subject as a competitor, likely doesn't meet WP:SPORTSPERSON. ~Kvng (talk) 21:09, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak delete. I don't see the kind of coverage of winning the programming competition that would grant GNG notability. No sign of academic notability yet for a current graduate student, of course. It's possible that one could make some kind of combined case, say though the programming guide plus the competitions, but this would require more evidence of impact than is in the article (and I did not find more).
