 * Delete, if the National Math Contest he supposedly won was notable, then he might be notable, but it's still got large amounts of unsourced info on living people.King Jakob  C2 23:36, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article makes an awful lot of unsourced claims amd name drops heavily. Of the claims that woudl give rise to notability, I was unable to substantiate any of them in independent reliable sources.  Coverage about him is scant with this item being the best and is rather slim. -- Whpq (talk) 17:08, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Do Not Delete - I have know Dan for 14 years. The "name drops" you reference are people who he knows and/or worked with.  Please search on HackFest Reincloud to see Reincloud's and his recent significant success winning Best Overall Hack for Augmented Realty Gamification TV.  Sdljb (talk) 00:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete - I have known Dan for over 17 years. I have collaborated closely with him on multiple projects and welcome his conciseness of design and development.  He has always been able to see the larger picture and is forward thinking in his designs and implementation. I value him as a friend and colleague and believe that his accomplishments have enhanced our quality of life.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnlrj3 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - This discussion is to determine if the article on Dan Reitan meets with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. For those not familiar, I suggest you read Verifiability, Biographies of living persons, Notability.  Significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources are needed. -- Whpq (talk) 03:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete - I know Dan Reitan and very closely follow his work for about 15 years. I know that many of the "dropped names" were 100% granted because he really worked with these people. Also there was another recent article in Bloomberg BusinessWeek about the same event: ||02/08/2013%2011:15%20PM%20ET||headline||Hackers%20search%20for%20new%20ways%20to%20experience%20TV%20[San%20Jose%20Mercury%20News||docSource||McClatchy-Tribune||provider||ACQUIREMEDIA&ticker=AAPL].   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubashev (talk • contribs) 05:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
