Chris Putnam

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is rather untraditional behaviour to send my own article to AfD... but I'm doing it. An IP PROD'd it stating the subject was not notable. I disagree, but he may not be notable beyond the single event of hacking Facebook to make all the profiles look like MySpace, which subsequently got him a job there. Through my own research I wasn't able to find much more about this person. Given this I think the subject may fail WP:CRIME and what little info we have here could probably be merged into Facebook or a subarticle thereof. Sometimes AfD discussions yield drastic improvement to the article, which in turn results in a keep. My hope was this would be the case with Putnam. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 18:44, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge Well, I agree that this subject could be merged with a Facebook article, but as I've mentioned on the Putnam page already, I don't think the person 'deserves' a separate article in an encyclopedia. As you state here, this article (probably) fails wikipedia guidelines, so the article should at least be checked upon by others as well. 82.217.116.224 (talk) 19:02, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - if the hack is notable it still falls under wp:BLP1E Neonchameleon (talk) 04:07, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
