no sources given to show independent WP:BIO notability (though does show bibliography with mainstream publishers); just one of the (17?) authors of "The Manifesto for Agile Software Development" Closeapple (talk) 02:25, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete It appears that Brian's notability is due to the number of books/publications written but if so, the article still fails WP:AUTHOR. -- HighKing ++ 15:44, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I have added several web and book references to help establish that the subject of the article has made a significant contribution to his field of work. Faught (talk) 03:48, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - he is accomplished, but I don't if I'd say he had made a significant contribution. Searches did not turn up enough to show they pass WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:35, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete I can see no sources that are secondary and relaible that are actually about him. Therefore, I will reccomend a delete, as per WP:GNG. The lack of secondary sources is further evidence to delete, as per WP:BASIC - Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
