Comment: The unreferenced detail in this article seems inconsistent - the subject is a schoolboy apparently about to embark on senior secondary school but is also said to have completed post-graduate qualifications from University of Cambridge? And all that in addition to a track record of jobs with various technology firms? This sounds somewhat aspirational... AllyD (talk) 06:32, 8 June 2018 (UTC);[reply]

Comment Hi AllyD, The sources provided are subject's twitter account, website and Quora.com, how do these sources are considered reliable and independent? Wikipedia does not merit a page that the subject is "inspirational" but subject needs to pass notability requirements with independent, reliable source with significant coverage. As a new page reviewer yourself, I believe you review a page based on the criteria as state above. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 07:14, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, maybe my tone didn't come across: by "somewhat aspirational" I was suggesting "wannabe". I am tempted to mark this article for CSD as a hoax but am doing some due diligence for sources first. AllyD (talk) 07:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AllyD, Understand your thoughts and where you came from. I PORDed the page under no source first to give the author a chance to provided sources. After sources provided, it is evident that the subject fails WP:N requirements. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 07:30, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A WP:SPA article about a 15 year old schoolboy, lacking sources independent of the subject, and making unverified claims to a portfolio of IT employments and various post-graduate qualifications, all while still at school. Even if verifiably true, none of these would be indicative of encyclopaedic notability, though. No evidence found to suggest biographical notability. AllyD (talk) 07:42, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
