 * Definitely Keep Dark_AleX is a genuine PSP developer with great fame in the PSP underground community. His software has proven to be invaluable to millions of users, and he is features regularly on websites such as http://pspupdates.qj.net. Keep this page, and expand on it.
 * Delete does not adhere to WP:BIO. Also, only the first two sentences are about Dark Alex, the remainder of the article talks about hacking the PSP. Subject is also non notable, and only mentioned as participating. -- Cy ru s      An dir on   15:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I strongly argee with that. Jaymac407 18:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The preceeding two signatures are made-up users - tampering by Alex! (Check the history) Bad form! - BierHerr 20:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Seems to fall under WP:SPAM, too, which is odd for a bio about someone who seems to be selling nothing? Smmurphy(Talk) 03:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article needs work but DAX is a notable person who is a VIP in the PSP homebrew community and written about in popular gaming sites such as Joystiq. - Throw 10:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Dark Alex is indeed a notable figure within the PSP homebrew community, but of course I feel that while he may be notable enough to be kept on Wikipedia, his achievements are far and few in between. Let's face it, he only became well known after a small BBC interview (which, no less, was conducted over the internet.) But, I feel that this article may as well be kept, although I do recognize the reasons why this article may not be kept. Weak keep here. - XX55XX 17:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete OK, so he's done some patch work and is apparently pretty good at coding. Aside from appearing online in BBCNews once, I don't see anything in the article that makes this person particularly notable. The other references are simply tech blogs, and not very convincing IMHO. The article subject seems painfully specialized to me -- not much interest to a broad audience. - BierHerr 17:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Excuse me. Wikipedia articles have to have general appeal, now? My understanding is subjects of Wikipedia article have to be notable for something, and DAX is certainly notable within a spectrum of people. I'd like to see Wikipedia policy that states articles have to be interesting to most people, or at least explain to me how the List of Pokémon is relevent to a sane person? - Throw 20:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I meant that his notoriety is confined to such a small group, that any determination of notoriety should be taken with a grain of salt. One can be notorious within a college dorm, but does that notoriety transfer to the world at large? No. I don't think his supposed notoriety transfers from the PSP crowd to the general, Wikipedia-reading public, which is what we are discussing. (BTW, I wouldn't shed a tear if List of Pokémon were deleted... but that's not the point here.) - BierHerr 20:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
