Fails to meet WP:AUTHOR, WP:PROF, or WP:SIGCOV. As only the very rare and very exceptional International Math Olympiad contestant gets significant reliable source coverage, it is unlikely that Prof. Gobbino has gotten any that I missed in my search. NW (Talk) 15:34, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. He gets an H-score of 9 based on a GS search, which is marginal but could go either way. The subject is only an associate professor, so it isn't clear how he passes the basis test: "the academic is more notable than the average college instructor/professor" Sławomir Biały (talk) 15:11, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He seems to be primarily notable not so much for his mathematical research but for his math team coaching activity, something more appropriately covered by WP:GNG than by WP:PROF. But although Google news archive finds several stories (in Italian) mentioning him in this role, they all do so only trivially as part of a larger story about the team itself. So I don't think he passes GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
