This reads more like a resume than an encyclopedia topic. I don't see exactly why the guy is notable. Based on the other edits of the user and the apparent WP:COI, I'm going to call this article an autobiography, and the account WP:SPA. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 14:24, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to hear. We feel that his contributions to open source, digital humanities software is substantial through his work with the Mukurtu Archive and work like Public Secrets (a Webby award nominee). There's a few more references we could add to support this. Are there things that could be changed/removed to make this more of an encyclopedia article?

The deletion policy notes, "requiring all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010 to have at least one reliable source that supports at least one statement about the subject" Wendy Seltzer provides a solid critique; there's others (e.g., the BBC) that could be added to support Craig's work in software representing non-western cultural protocols.

Thanks for your time and input. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Usc vectors (talk • contribs) 17:55, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
