Contested PROD. Non-notable biography of three year old member of Mensa. Child is not the youngest Mensan ever, nor is he unusual in the organization: American Mensa, for instance, has 1300 child members, including some as young as three. [1] Subject fails WP:BIO and WP:N. DanielEng 09:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. NN individual; fails WP:BIO. --Czj 09:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I would be very surprised if a second or third 'reliable source' could not be found for this, thus meeting WP:BIO. However, reading the BBC article, it's clear from the last paragraph that not only have the BBC not verified the story properly, but nor have the university staff quoted by the BBC. Therefore, I conclude that the BBC is not a reliable source and the subject of the article is not notable per the guideline. CiaranG 22:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom + being in the "top 2%" of the population in the ability to do simple logic puzzles (aided by university staff too, and only unusual in taking the test because of UK Mensa's typical age limit) is not especially impressive. trivial news story. Bwithh 23:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
