Thank you very much for your worme and kind words.What i see is an undergraduate competition,and then nothing(apart erdos thing).From the notability critiria only (7.The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them.) seems to be closer to the situation.And from
309:. Non-notable. Are we going to give everyone with an impressive resume in their field a wikipedia entry? And to head off the increasingly hostile tone of the article supporters, yes, I am qualified to assess the encyclopedic notability of mathematician bios.

HAHAHA.Ok,now i understand why you all mock me.No no,i now that thers no nobel in maths(any one has a gess why? :-))i was putting an example for nottability.I'm not a dumbt like you seem to sujest,you shouldn't make a link ither betewn my intellect and my

Caltech graduates. I'm sure I could find thousands of people that have a unique combination of several prestigious titles, accomplishments, or awards. Uniqueness isn't the same as notability.

did it too, and I saw him once at a math awards dinner in my high school career. An Erdos number of one, while not notable in and of itself, adds to this person's overall notability. It would be better, though, if this article could be expanded.
97:. I made exactly two edits to the article, to add my year of birth, as an indication that it was acceptable to me that it appear in the article, and an attempt to Wikilink the title of my thesis, which seems to have come undone. I suspect a

then to the Putnam
Competition since at it's core the former is work with probably one of the most notable mathematician and the later is ultimately just a contest. It is a difficult and very selective contest but still just a contest.
283:. Erdős number 1. Putnam exam top 5 finisher 4 consecutive years is also notable. Nomination reason given is factually inaccurate, and I doubt that the nominator is qualified to assess encyclopedic notability of mathematician bios.
194:- no need to look beyond the Putnam for notability, reliable sources are not a problem, future expansion seems possible. He's also won all of the Nobel prizes for mathematics so far, so I don't see a problem there ...

Sorry, but I'm not convinced that Putnam Top 5ers are encyclopedically notable (why "obviously" notable?) enough for their own article. As an academic mathematician, article so far fails

If we have anything to say about them and somebody wants to write them, then yes by all means. 509 is not a huge number of articles by any standards.
338:. He is a repeat Putnam Fellow, a Caltech graduate, and a mathematician with Erdős number 1. I don't know anyone else in the same group. Do you?
321:
Personally, I think he's more notable as a
Wikipedian admin. (A good admin yet still...) Though with the article, I would give more weight to his
