Chris Sullo

 * — (View AfD)

Contested prod (prod tag removal was user's 5th edit). Respectable person who can found at some security-related mailing lists, but not notable enough for Wikipedia. I could not find any reliable sources. Jyothisingh 09:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - Notable references ,,, The last reference is a book written by someone else where he mentions Chris Sullo for his splendid work on Nikto scanner. I wonder why there isn't an article on Nikto Scanner in wikipedia. -- Nareshhacker 07:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * None of these references qualify this respectable person for Notability (people). says that he is mentor for Summer of Code projects,  mentions that he is one of the many volunteers for OSVDB,  mentions that he is author of a tool called Nikito,  has no reference to his "splendid work" -- it has just one sentence: "Nikto, by Chris Sullo, is based on the next generation LibWhisker library."

 * Keep - I have no strong points to support but this is just a desperate wish to keep this article. Chris Sullo is very very notable among security folks. This is all I can say. -- Smith.norton 15:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * "Desperate wish" is not a reason to keep the article! Jyothisingh 13:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge ?? - It's quite evident that we do not understand the Wikipedia policies well enough. Moreover we are having difficulty gathering enough notable references for Chris Sullo. But we security folks know the wonderful work that has gone into Nikto Scanner. So we would just like to know whether we can merge this article with OSVDB with a short description of the contribution Chris Sullo has done to the security community? -- Nareshhacker 13:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
