A speedy deletion via AFD in July; a user asked for the deletion to be overturned. I believe an argument for keeping the page is forthcoming; I have no opinion. Ral315 » 04:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm currently editing the article to better express Stein's accomplishments/notability, and to cite sources. When done, I'll drop another note here. I hope it's all right to ask that the discussion wait a bit (an hour or two) for those changes to be done. --Karl Fogel 05:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've had a go at fleshing out the article with some more information and references. Comments/improvements welcome. Note that one of the references is a book I wrote -- I didn't do that out of egotism, it's just that it's a published source and is an appropriate reference for a factual statement in the article. I'm not sure what the etiquette is around citations like that. I'm happy to be educated, though; just let me know what the usual procedure is. Thanks. --Karl Fogel 06:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep For now, appears to be marginally notable; article can be expanded further. • Lawrence Cohen  18:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Stein was Chairman of the Apache Foundation for five years, an important advocacy role, and is an important figure in open source. (In other words, not just some guy who wrote an extension once.) --Dhartung | Talk 19:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I guess I should formally register my "keep", though it's probably obvious from the fact that I rewrote the article. I believe Stein meets WP:BIO notability criteria (though those are a guideline rather than a policy), specifically the "widely recognized contribution to the enduring historical record in the person's specific field". --Karl Fogel 22:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
