Talk:Dirk Gates

Untitled
This page should not be deleted. I came across this person while doing research for my undergraduate degree. Dirk Gates is the person who first connected notebook computers to networks. That is VERY noteworthy. He helped pioneer wi-fi technology and has also made significant advancements in other technological areas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flowerpower16 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability, sourcing, deletion
Deletion would require a full discussion as subject has 212 gnews hits, 20 gscholar hits. There appears to be substantial sources for article. While I haven't the time or inclination to sort this and improve the article, it would be nice if someone would. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  13:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability, sourcing, deletion
I looked into Dirk and fixed a few parts of the article. He (Xircom) is notable. If PC Cards, Dongles, and Wi-Fi are notable, then so is the person who helped invent and distribute them -- we are all using technology right now that is based on what this guy created in the 80's and 90's. My vote is to stay. Surfn805 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not even currently nominated - speedy was declined, and I deprodded it, so it would have to be AfD'ed - and delete would be very unlikely.John Z (talk) 05:00, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
