Chris Sullo (2nd nomination)

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Bio related to Open Security Foundation, which was recently merged and deleted. The prior no consensus closure was overturned at deletion review, but consensus for outright deletion was not established, so it is back here for further consideration. This is a procedural nomination, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 22:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Being a corporate officer does not satisfy WP:BIO. There are only 118 unique google hits for "Chris Sullo". His involvement in the Nikto software would make him notable, if it were notable itself. --Wildnox(talk) 00:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Per Flakeloaf. --Wildnox(talk) 23:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable (at least not yet). Flakeloaf 01:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC) Merge with Nikto Web Scanner per my reply to JaneElanor. Flakeloaf 19:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:N. The previous AfD seems to have had a vote-stuffing issue.... -- MarcoTolo 02:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Reasons same as pervious nom. There is an article on Nikto Web Scanner already. Jyothisingh 14:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Regarding Wildnox's statement:  Chris Sullo would meet the notability requirement if Nikto were notable - it is established that Nikto is notable as is evidenced by the Nikto Web Scanner article and the fact that Nikto is the top used web scanner tool in the security industry. (These comments were previously listed and never refuted.)  This syllogism therefore supports that Chris Sullo is indeed notable.

 * Comment The Nikto Web Scanner article consists of two paragraphs, both of which are cut-and-pasted (and for that reason, probably copyvio) from their respective sources. Its only references are the homepage of the tool itself, and the page of the Mac port; there are no independent comments or other substantiations of notability, although the tool's user base is so large that the article passes WP:SOFTWARE.  Sullo's article DOES have a reference for this tool's popularity, so merging a short bio about its author with that page should improve it even more. Flakeloaf 19:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Here are some of the notable published works that reference Nikto: http://www.cirt.net/news/press.shtml.  This list is somewhat outdated but provides historical evidence of notability.  Current works can be discovered through a google book search (http://books.google.com/books?q=nikto+-%22star+wars%22&btnG=Search+Books&as_brr=0) or a  google scholar search (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=nikto+web+security+-%22star+wars%22&btnG=Search). Nikto's status as #1 web security tool is published at http://sectools.org/web-scanners.html.  This list was refereed by Fyodor, an established security expert.    Agreed - these facts should probably be appended to the articles for further robustness. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JaneEleanor (talk • contribs) 19:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC).  — JaneEleanor (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
