fails notability
 * Weak Keep Martin's activities are verifiable through reliable sources, and dude seems to have accomplished quite a lot in his life. I'm comfortable with his notability, at least his notability in his business sector.  That said, there are obvious COI issues at play with this article, and the sources in the article are of varying quality... but solution is to improve, not delete, and no effort to improve has been made for some time.

 * Delete Other than having worked in an unusual location, he's a sysadmin. I don't think just being a Trustee of the Internet Society does it, and I don't really see anything else notable here. Brianyoumans (talk) 18:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not seeing multiple independent reliable sources with substantial coverage needed to show notability. Edison (talk) 18:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Edison above, does not have the reliable third party sources needed to substantiate this article. JBsupreme (talk) 06:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Townlake, improved references and overall but would I qualify as Internet Pioneer for some Pacific Islands Countries? (ISP, ccTLDs) Franck 12:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.170.45.184 (talk)
 * Delete Per Edison. The conflict of interest here doesn't help much either. Cheers, CP 19:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
