This draft needs to be radically cleaned up it. Looks like one article was copy pasted on top of another one.

This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

Submission declined on 5 August 2026 by Medievalfran (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Declined by Medievalfran 60 days ago.

Comment: Over reliance on sources that are self-generated or made by the subject's employer. Notability would be demonstrated with significant coverage in external sources. Medievalfran (talk) 14:50, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

I've fixed that. Now, of the seven references, only two are by his employer. He passes WP:PROF criterium #2 due to the prize and as ICM invited speaker and also criterium #1 due to him weing well-cited (for math, which is a low-citation field). Also, there is and entire Quanta Magazine article about this work. All of this should make it clear that he is notable. AgapiPhilotimo (talk) 19:46, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Comment on notability: Invited speaker at the ICM. There is an in-depth Quanta Magazine article about some of his works. Author of many highly cited papers in top math journals (Annals of Mathematics, Acta Mathematica, Inventiones mathematicae, Publications mathématiques de l'IHÉS, Journal of Differential Geometry and so on...). —Zogurtragen (talk) 12:40, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment: I think this should be accepted because he passes WP:PROF criteria #2 ("highly prestigious academic award") #1 ("an author of highly cited academic work") (New Horizons in Mathematics Prize, invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians, the article on Quanta Magazine about his work, and and the author of many well-cited papers, math is a low citation area, and many of his recent ones already received more than one hundred citations each, according to Google Scholar.)
