Delete Relevent google search turns up all of the relevent social networking sites and almost nothing else. Google News turns up articles about OTHER people with the same name, such as an ex-prime minister of the Czech Republic, but again, nothing about this guy. There's nothing to build an article on here. --Jayron32. talk.contribs 03:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Incorrect - This is a ridiculous argument. Just because there's other people with the same name on Google, and you only found social networking sites, is completely irrelevant - have another look and you'll find him featured in a host of national newspapers. I can count 7. Ijsaimiil (talk) 22:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Book just published by what seems to be a vanity published, no other significant accomplishments. DGG (talk) 08:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - Entirely fulfils Wikipedia notability guidelines, by having notable events covered by national media featured multiple times. (a) Setting the British A-Level record, links to national newspapers, (b) Financial News (international newspaper) for banking achievements, (c) book was in Amazon Top 100 yesterday so is selling hugely.

Gentlemen, this is Jan Sramek speaking. While I am very flatted by those who created my entry, I do not feel that I meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines yet, and would like to ask you to remove my entry immediately. Thank you for your understanding. Jan —Preceding unsigned comment added by JanSramek (talk • contribs) 01:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Common sense indicates that someone who has been lauded in numerous national newspapers for outstanding academic excellence is notable thereby. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete Not notable enough. Being 'featured' in national newspapers is a bit of an exaggeration. UK newspapers release an article on results day every year with 5/6 students with above average grades. That in itself does not warrant a wikipedia article. Additionally, the subject has requested a delete and that rules above all. Parkerparked (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
