This is not an encyclopedia article, it's a summary of an autobiography hosted by the subject himself. AMFMUHFVHF90922 (talk) 20:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. He is a known individual in GNOME project. Earliest codes were written by him and Miguel de Icaza. This article is not a self promotion. Anyone that reads anything about the GNOME project know and heard about him abundantly. 75.70.142.23 (talk) 09:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. I believe the subject is notable enough for inclusion - but yes, the article needs some TLC and some refs. Worst case scenario, this should redirect to the GNOME page. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:05, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for commenting, Ultraexactzz. As this article currently stands it fails WP:BLP policy, so it very much needs some tender loving care.  The problem is that when I sought out any sort of non-trivial coverage from what Wikipedia deems reliable third party sources, I came up empty handed.  I'm not sure what the policy is on setting up redirects for subjects who do not pass any relevant policy either, so I will defer to anyone else who is more versed on that topic.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. Just a guy working for a company--notability is barely even asserted in the article.  Fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:RS, etc. Qworty (talk) 02:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no evidence of notability.Deb (talk) 17:37, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to GNOME. There are are a lot of passing mentions in reliable sources and at least one more in-depth article, and I think if he can be considered a creative professional he may satisfy points three and/or four of WP:CREATIVE, but there doesn't seem to be enough significant coverage to satisfy WP:BIO or WP:GNG (yet). – Arms &amp; Hearts (talk) 23:57, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete The FOSDEM bio is interesting but not sufficient for independent or even a reliable source. Fails pretty much everything as Qworty points out above. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:48, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
