Fails WP:GNG. In addition, it seems that all references in the article are self-published. Steel1943 (talk) 01:43, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not only does this article subject not pass the WP:GNG, but the references have been deceptively formatted to make it appear as though they come from prestigious universities and not this chap's blog. A Traintalk 23:20, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. He appears to be a McMaster University student with a single co-authored paper (arXiv:1708.06308 at a satellite workshop of ACM SenSys chaired by one of his co-authors). This is far from WP:PROF, and as well as the falsified references I can find no evidence of the "multiple awards" at Yale, Princeton, Northwestern, and at IEEE and ACM conferences, claimed by the article. There's a plausible case here for WP:CSD#G3 as a hoax, but maybe it's not blatant enough for speedy deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:20, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I usually participate in discussion which is related to engineers.I've checked out the article and references.the sources provide all of the content of article approximately. Also I checked his name on search engines, his activities such as his multiple awards and his education and alma mater prove his notability for Wikipedia.also I found in a reference that he is inventor so I think subject is notable enough as a engineer with multiple awards and his inventions then meetWikipedia:Notability (people). this engineer is successful by foreseeing his little age.Mehdikhan20 (talk) 14:34, 10 October 2017 (UTC) Mehdikhan20 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep with conditions the article need to be more sensible to notable for WP. its need to be revise again specially in Ref. article content could be diminish because it too excessive and have abundant informations that not need to be here. in spite of opinions it sounds he is a good programmer who has some achievements in machine vision and machine learning and dedicating his work to excellence that could proved by probing in internet but reviewers and author must promote it. with making this issues right and in lack of some famous names it could be a good article for Wikipedia because folks like him is the future of World Village. I can declare that seems the author of article opt wrong jagged way and( not a appropriate way) to introduce the profession of his work & activities and that why it became more baffled and we can't accuse him for some slip up mistake. I conclude debate with this argument " it had to be more accurate and revised and could be remained in WP " Dave linc (talk) 19:19, 10 October 2017 (UTC) Dave linc (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • speedy deletionthe user who created the article has tricked others by adding fake references.i analyzed sources and the websites.all of them are not reliable.im agree with professor Eppstein.regardsAmirdaeii (talk) 09:10, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I checked the refrences it seems like they are indeed coming from the official hackathon devpost pages, given the amount of activity on them, which is almost impossible to fake. I did some research indeed there was a hackathon in Yal, Northwestern, and Princeton and they match the dates on the devpost as they match the websites for the hackathons on the wayback machine for 2015. The kid has alot done given his age I believe so that I guess is goo enough for Wikipedia:Notability (people) given that his linkedin seems legit and googling his name throws lots of news about his winnings in some programming competitions and his startup ezSec indeed seems legit as it was refrenced on the innovation facotory website, which is related to McMaster Innovation Park, the same startup ezsec seems to be listed on the forge, the mcmaster university accelerator, linked to Ontario Centre of Excellence. The guy seems like he is a little smart man and indeed his refrences are solid and can't catch any talk but no walks on his page. Would be cool if we remove the IEEE refrence, he made, tho as so far only the IEEE student brach has mentioned hime and that is not a conference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.113.109.216 (talkcontribs) 130.113.109.216 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
