Basic criteria for biographies are as follows:
I do not see how this person meets these criteria -- it is worth noting that USA Today chooses a person of the week EVERY SINGLE WEEK, Siemens chooses grand prize winners EVERY YEAR (and furthermore, it is not a Nobel, a Pulitzer, an Oscar, or any such award -- I do not find any other Siemens Competition winners with their own Wikipedia articles), and Harvard University accepts approximately 1600 new freshman every year, as well. What basically qualifies as a personal resume, a presentation written for the Siemens Competition, and mention in the Harvard Gazette for winning a fellowship also do not qualify as acceptable sources. AND all of the articles above refer to winners of the Siemens prize, not to the subject alone.
Another point I want to make is that having an Erdős number of 3 is irrelevant when the one with the number has virtually no other notable accomplishments. Most of the others I've checked on the list have far more achievements. Cami Solomon ( talk) 06:19, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply

The article Maor Levi has been deleted five times per PROD or CSD under concerns of notability and spam, and was apparently protected from page creation. This article ( Maor levi with lowercase l) may have been created as a means to circumvent that protection.
While the article appears to cite 11 sources, nearly all of them are user-created web content, such as the subject's own MySpace page and YouTube channel, and user forums at his record label. None of these comprise reliable third-party sources to establish notability or verifiability.
A web search provides several similarly non-reliable sources such as Facebook and music sharing sites. Google News archives reveal three passing mentions in a list of new releases, a review of a compilation album containing one of his tracks, and a profile of another producer on the Anjunabeats label. Therefore, the subject does not appear to pass WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. Cnilep ( talk) 18:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply

The name 'Kharsag Epics' is the personal creation of the fringe writer Christian O'Brien and is only mentioned on sites relating to him, it seems to have no recognition in any reliable sources that I can find. So, no notability and Wikipedia is the only respectable site I've found mentioning these 'epics' (or indeed O'Brien, who has no qualifications in history or linguistics, he was a geologist and apparently basically self-published, his books are described as 'printed [11]' not published by Dianthus Publishing, whose output seems to have been his books and a cricket book.). Dougweller ( talk) 13:08, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Genius of the Few References
"Of no less importance and substance than the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, the O'Brien scholarship applied to the linked Kharsag Epics now demands the recognition and respect it has long deserved from the archaeological establishment" - "The fact that O'Brien, using his milti-disciplinary skills, brings so much additional evidence in support of his basic thesis for the revision of the Genesis text into a down to earth farming story, must encourage other scholars to climb out of religious straightjackets and seek to confirm the truth."
Edmund Marriage The Patrick Foundation.
"This book is a neglected classic which has a revolutionary thesis of fundamental importance to our understanding of the ancient past" - "Based on the O'Brien deep knowledge of ancient Middle Eastern sites and languages, it completely re-interprets the origins of civilisation and pushes the dates back by thousands of years".
Nigel Blair Author and Coordinator of the Wessex Research Group Network.
"As a result of Christian O'Brien's translation of this ancient story from these clay tablets from the Nippur library, the whole Genesis story lies open for re-examination" - "In writing about books, Francis Bacon declared that there were some few to be chewed and digested - The Genius of the Few is such a book".
Joel Disher The Rosicrucian Digest, USA.
"The thesis of the book is so startling that it should have caused a major controversy when it was first published. However it was too controversial for the scholars and too sober and erudite for the popular audience, yet since that time it has attracted a growing number of readers. With its careful, scholarly and un-sensational approach, the evidence for the real existence of the Anannage as the founders of civilization strikes me as fascinating and convincing".
Colin Wilson Best selling author and broadcaster.
"Stunning ! - This book has everything to commend it as a valuable academic gem - it certainly rates as a Five Star accomplishment".
Sir Lawrence Gardiner Author and acclaimed sovereign and chivalric genealogist.
"I have placed it in the Department Library where I am sure it will be most useful as it is likely to provoke response from archaeologists and scientists of all types. You are to be congratulated on producing such a work".
Dr Irving Finkel Western Asiatic Department of the British Museum.
References for 'The Shining Ones'
A valuable source would be The Shining Ones, by Christian and Barbara Joy O'Brien. I need to add that book to my References page and may have done so by the time you read this. I had not covered it in Open SETI because of its occasional dependence on "supernatural" explanations, which I felt would be out of bounds for the target readership. It is not out of bounds for this discussion, however! At any rate, what distinguishes this book (and others by the authors, though this is the complete compendium) is its use of important material from the Kharsag Epics and recent translations of various Codices and other apocryphal and gnostic works. The O'Briens have assembled a strikingly detailed, logical, and coherent picture of an early project or colony that resulted in the institution of the Mesopotamian cultures. Much of the story can be discerned in more well-known scriptural texts, but MUCH less clearly - Gary Zetlin - SETI Institute. Paul Bedson ( talk) 18:17, 22 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Its among the earliest known works of literary writing. That makes it notable. Does anyone doubt these works were quite famous in that nation way back in the day? Notability is not dated after all.

The article Maor Levi has been deleted five times per PROD or CSD under concerns of notability and spam, and was apparently protected from page creation. This article ( Maor levi with lowercase l) may have been created as a means to circumvent that protection.
While the article appears to cite 11 sources, nearly all of them are user-created web content, such as the subject's own MySpace page and YouTube channel, and user forums at his record label. None of these comprise reliable third-party sources to establish notability or verifiability.
A web search provides several similarly non-reliable sources such as Facebook and music sharing sites. Google News archives reveal three passing mentions in a list of new releases, a review of a compilation album containing one of his tracks, and a profile of another producer on the Anjunabeats label. Therefore, the subject does not appear to pass WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. Cnilep ( talk) 18:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Undergraduate annual science journal that was established 4 years ago at McGill and has published 4 issues. The only indications for notability are the claim that it is one of the first undergraduate science journals in North America and that it was named "publication of the year" by McGill's Student Society.

The name 'Kharsag Epics' is the personal creation of the fringe writer Christian O'Brien and is only mentioned on sites relating to him, it seems to have no recognition in any reliable sources that I can find. So, no notability and Wikipedia is the only respectable site I've found mentioning these 'epics' (or indeed O'Brien, who has no qualifications in history or linguistics, he was a geologist and apparently basically self-published, his books are described as 'printed [11]' not published by Dianthus Publishing, whose output seems to have been his books and a cricket book.). Dougweller ( talk) 13:08, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Genius of the Few References
"Of no less importance and substance than the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, the O'Brien scholarship applied to the linked Kharsag Epics now demands the recognition and respect it has long deserved from the archaeological establishment" - "The fact that O'Brien, using his milti-disciplinary skills, brings so much additional evidence in support of his basic thesis for the revision of the Genesis text into a down to earth farming story, must encourage other scholars to climb out of religious straightjackets and seek to confirm the truth."
Edmund Marriage The Patrick Foundation.
"This book is a neglected classic which has a revolutionary thesis of fundamental importance to our understanding of the ancient past" - "Based on the O'Brien deep knowledge of ancient Middle Eastern sites and languages, it completely re-interprets the origins of civilisation and pushes the dates back by thousands of years".
Nigel Blair Author and Coordinator of the Wessex Research Group Network.
"As a result of Christian O'Brien's translation of this ancient story from these clay tablets from the Nippur library, the whole Genesis story lies open for re-examination" - "In writing about books, Francis Bacon declared that there were some few to be chewed and digested - The Genius of the Few is such a book".
Joel Disher The Rosicrucian Digest, USA.
"The thesis of the book is so startling that it should have caused a major controversy when it was first published. However it was too controversial for the scholars and too sober and erudite for the popular audience, yet since that time it has attracted a growing number of readers. With its careful, scholarly and un-sensational approach, the evidence for the real existence of the Anannage as the founders of civilization strikes me as fascinating and convincing".
Colin Wilson Best selling author and broadcaster.
"Stunning ! - This book has everything to commend it as a valuable academic gem - it certainly rates as a Five Star accomplishment".
Sir Lawrence Gardiner Author and acclaimed sovereign and chivalric genealogist.
"I have placed it in the Department Library where I am sure it will be most useful as it is likely to provoke response from archaeologists and scientists of all types. You are to be congratulated on producing such a work".
Dr Irving Finkel Western Asiatic Department of the British Museum.
References for 'The Shining Ones'
A valuable source would be The Shining Ones, by Christian and Barbara Joy O'Brien. I need to add that book to my References page and may have done so by the time you read this. I had not covered it in Open SETI because of its occasional dependence on "supernatural" explanations, which I felt would be out of bounds for the target readership. It is not out of bounds for this discussion, however! At any rate, what distinguishes this book (and others by the authors, though this is the complete compendium) is its use of important material from the Kharsag Epics and recent translations of various Codices and other apocryphal and gnostic works. The O'Briens have assembled a strikingly detailed, logical, and coherent picture of an early project or colony that resulted in the institution of the Mesopotamian cultures. Much of the story can be discerned in more well-known scriptural texts, but MUCH less clearly - Gary Zetlin - SETI Institute. Paul Bedson ( talk) 18:17, 22 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Its among the earliest known works of literary writing. That makes it notable. Does anyone doubt these works were quite famous in that nation way back in the day? Notability is not dated after all. There are no suggested guidelines on how to deal with ancient literature such as this, so use common sense. Verifiability and all other policies have been met.

I'm not sure whether this is a good-faith error or an outright hoax; the source is linked to Google Books but is empty there, so I can't check it. However, the claim that it's played by the "Inuit peoples of Nelson Island, British Columbia" is definitely offside; the island is only just barely removed from being part of Metro Vancouver, so there most certainly aren't any Inuit around there. If this really does exist as a real Inuit instrument, then I'm willing to withdraw the nomination if somebody can properly source where it really belongs geographically — but if a real source doesn't pan out, delete.
