Bo Sterby

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable computer programmer. The person's software company doesn't even seem to have a website. The only web page that mentions the person's name and company name together is this Wikipedia article. Gary King ( talk ) 17:49, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, the article indicates no notable achievement (with the exception of going to college). Dipotassitrimanganate (talk) 18:11, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I declined the speedy because there is, in fact, a weak claim of importance in the article. (Founding a company.) No harm in letting the AfD run its course.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:21, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I figured that the bit of information was good enough to require that the article be sent to AfD instead of CSD. Gary King  ( talk ) 22:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above comments. I'd support a Speedy Delete because any of us can found a company by filing the proper papers Monday morning but such an action wouldn't make one notable. Boston (talk) 23:08, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I definitely agree that founding a company doesn't make one notable -- I've founded a company, and I'm definitely not notable. But A7 doesn't require a claim of notability, it requires a claim of importance, which is a lower standard.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  00:01, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Has anyone ever heard of a computer programmer or their website without any web presence whatsoever? Seems unlikely... -= Mgm|(talk) 00:13, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: No reliable sources that show notability per WP:BIO. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 23:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
