 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A random hacker with one breach, a Twitter "prank" and a couple defacements fails WP:RECENTISM and probably doesnt meet WP:GNG and WP:SUSTAINED. Last AfD decision was speedy delete Softlemonades (talk) 00:09, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep It appears they have at least 4 events described, that appears to meet GNG with the sources provided. Oaktree b (talk) 00:14, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete: Coverage isn't significant. Non-notable. Delete. Macktheknifeau (talk) 03:21, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has been trimmed down; and has the support of quality references Flibbertigibbets (talk) 02:53, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep The articles cites publications such as Motherboard and ZDNet, which are considered reliable with regard to technology. The nomination rationale seems to just be a WP:IDONTLIKEIT-type argument. Partofthemachine (talk) 05:46, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Its not about liking it or reliability, its notability. ZDNet talks about a "few" defacements which just isnt notable and what you said about Motherboard is just false, theres no consensus about it being reliable.
 * Please remember to assume good faith and not accuse other editors of secret motives Softlemonades (talk) 15:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * My internal perceptions (how I am thinking internally, my thought process) regarding this AFD were initially formed by a monolithic or preferred focus on a single topic. Wikipedia documentation mentions the possibility that narrow focus sometimes speaks against consensus building; more so the documentation suggests that single focus can damage how you might be perceived by other editors.
 * (This is not something I was going to mention, by mentioning "motives" the door to asking "why" was opened) Flibbertigibbets (talk) 17:34, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep BBC and ZDNet are both unarguably good enough for GNG. Motherboard is less clear on reliability (I personally have no strong opinion on it; I'm not familiar with the source) but certainly significant coverage. The coverage is also spaced out across multiple years, so arguments involving WP:SUSTAINED and WP:RECENTISM don't seem to hold water. casualdejekyll  00:50, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * My reasoning for recentism was the WP:10YEARTEST. I dont think anyone will care about a Twitter prank ten years later. Its also not the main BBC news section, its BBCs blog. Theres a difference Softlemonades (talk) 03:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - There are enough reliable sources to satisfy the GNG. Other issues can be resolved with (lots of) editing. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 16:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
