Declined A7 per "a7 not applicable to schools". Personally I think a university affiliated math circle is still an organization, not a school, but I digress, here we are now.

Fails WP:NORG. No coverage found in WP:ORGIND sources. A412 (Talk • C) 01:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recuse. I don't actually have an affiliation with the mathematics department, and I didn't know anything about this program before seeing this AfD, but this is still too close. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

comment from creator to be fair, UCI Track Cycling World Cup – Women's individual pursuit is allowed but does not show up in any major sources, meanwhile papers are written in the math circle. Ayunipear (talk) 02:55, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article makes no claim to notability, and cites no reliable sources, nor do such seem to exist. The'other stuff exists' is the type specimen of an invalid defence; likely the named article should also be deleted. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not having luck finding independent sources about this, but I wouldn't yet rule out the possibility that there could be grounds to include a sentence in, e.g., University of California, Irvine School of Physical Sciences. Outreach activities include the UCI Math Circle, an enrichment program for secondary school students... or something like that. XOR'easter (talk) 10:29, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a sentence along the lines of XOR'easter's suggestion. It is listed in a directory of math circles[1] and a brief mention in an issue on remote math circles[2], which is marginally enough independent verfiability for a few basic facts about the organization in a sentence at University of California, Irvine School of Physical Sciences. If math circle was in better shape, that would also be a possible merge target. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 21:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – fails notability criteria. No reliable sources that are independent found. Toadette ^{(Merry Christmas, and a happy new year)} 07:37, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge selectively per the suggestion of Mark viking above. XOR'easter (talk) 16:22, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep or Merge I've gone and addressed the tag issues on the article and cited two sources about the program. I can see other Math Circles being notable in the future. Dr vulpes (Talk) 18:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Added merge to vote because honestly either is fine. Dr vulpes (Talk) 18:56, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the sources you added and I have concerns.
- Pantano, Alessandra; Forero, Andres (2022). "Math CEO's Training Framework: The Best-Kept Secret behind the Success a Math Circle for Underserved Students -- I'm fairly certain this is about something else. https://sites.ps.uci.edu/mathceo/ ("UCI Math CEO") appears to be different than https://www.math.uci.edu/~mathcircle/index.html ("UCI Math Circle"). If you look at the math circle website, there's an external link to Math CEO, which suggests it's a different organization.
- Pantano, Aessandra; Treuer, John; Baki, Yasmeen (2022). "The UCI Math Circle: Building an online community of young math researchers. This isn't independent. https://www.math.uci.edu/~mathcircle/MCpeople.html Patanato, Treuer, and Baki all lead the math circle.
