This biography is being written in different languages probably using translators and probably by same person. Being a winner of Math Olympics was never a criteria to be considered relevant. It is just something a student can do and not enough to well covered by sources. —Teles «Talk to me˱_{M @ C S}˲» 21:50, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable mathematician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:22, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We have occasionally kept articles on the basis of an unusually large number of IMO gold medals. But that's not what we have here. In fact, the IMO results page given on the article as a reference for his participation doesn't even list his name. And there seems to be nothing else that could justify notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Is this BLP a hoax? Sources seem so elusive. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:27, 2 January 2017 (UTC).[reply]
- This source looks real enough to convince me that it's not a hoax. (It's not enough for notability, though.) It appears to be part of a series of articles published by the mathematics department at a Brazilian university, many of which are about their national mathematics olympiad. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:44, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
