Delete No independent sources cited at all, and no indication of notability. Every prize offered internally by a school, college, or university to its students is not notable. PROD was removed with edit summary saying "I think this merits discussion", but no attempt to start such a discussion, as far as I can see. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:15, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nominator. 0 Gnews and Gscholar hits. Aside from resumes and information closely linked to the school, it's hard to see that the competition exists at all. I don't understand why this didn't go quickly and painlessly through PROD. Ray^Talk 02:26, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per the above, a local event unlikely to known outside of Lansing. Category:Mathematics competitions currently list almost a hundred entries and I suspect many of them should be deleted for the same reasons.--RDBury (talk) 21:48, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
