I've declined a WP:CSD#A7 on this as the article does have some news sources such as this one, so he's not completely and utterly insignificant, but neverthless I don't believe there's enough significant coverage to make a full article out him. In particular, this Guardian source is a blatant bit of puffery, since I get the impression that the article just picked a handful of any students it could muster opinion from, and printed them as part of a piece on something else.
