A tag has been placed on Ted Butler, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Butseriouslyfolks 20:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Tagging Linux as POV
Please re-read the NPOV policy so as to understand it properly before tagging articles as violating it when you admit you can't find any 'criticisms' to include. Doing so is annoying, and repeatedly doing so is disruptive.-Localzuk(talk) 17:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Confused...
I'm confused, you are anti-OSS but are happy to use Firefox and Vim, and previously Thunderbird? Huh?-Localzuk(talk) 19:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Your view of OSS is a bit strange, considering it helps small companies as well as large. For example, I was commissioned at one point to develop an OSS package for a company. The code was available for everyone when it was complete and I also made money creating it, and from supporting it. How is this exploitation or benefiting larger companies?
 * Also, to say that large companies make teir OSS software deliberately difficult to use is amazing, considering how the entire focus of the OSS movement at present is pretty much 'make it easier to use' - and making claims that Linux or most pieces of OSS software are difficult to use is nonsense. For example, Firefox is not difficult to use, Ubuntu is not difficult to use, Thunderbird is not difficult to use, MediaWiki (the software running this site) is not difficult to use. Compare this with Microsoft Windows, where training costs a fortune, support costs a fortune and it is difficult to use - as all the advanced bits are hidden away. Another aspect is that many small companies have the ability to offer support for OSS packages with no cost to them other than learning the software - there is a shop down where I live which is an Ubuntu support centre.
 * If you use Firefox because it is more secure than IE, why not use Opera? It is supposedly even more secure still.
 * And shareware was a terrible business model, and still is. However, there are some companies that still use it and make a killing from it such as Ambrosia Software. If your software is good enough to sell, then it will sell. If it isn't then it won't...
 * To put it bluntly, I don't understand your arguments because they simply are false.-Localzuk(talk) 10:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
