Keep The article does explain why it's notable, "considered to be one of the most prestigious high school math competitions in the world". It's covered in sources such as What High Schools Don't Tell You and Academic Competitions for Gifted Students. Andrew D. (talk) 11:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Frivolous nomination by a suspicious new account. One might be forgiven for having April 2013 flashbacks. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 12:22, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pinged here. Like everything Harvard-related it's probably got plenty of coverage, but I'm on mobile for much of today so I'm gonna toss this to David Epstein for a cross-country perspective. E Eng 12:25, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably EEng meant User:David Eppstein. (Why hasn't User:David Epstein been UN-blocked, by the way? I guess back in 2007 the username creation filter didn't prevent names that were that similar to existing users...) Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 12:56, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep--Highly notable.It's a pathetic failure of WP:BEFORE.~ Winged Blades^Godric 13:21, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm adding stuff to it, preferably sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.226.26.132 (talk • contribs)
Keep Seems to have sufficient independent coverage to pass WP:EVENT. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:51, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - surely, this must be a prank. The OP doesn't even exist. ^{Atsme📞📧} 19:41, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per sources and reasoning above. Definitely passes WP:EVENT. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 21:34, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
