Page reads like vanity and advertising. Also, he does not seem overly important in the tech world, though he does have a large presence on Linux message boards and the like. While he gets tons of google hits, most of these are for individual posts he has made on mailing lists and forums and the like, and none of them point to articles or profiles on any news site or even on any technical sites. As a result, I do not think he is notable enough for inclusion. Indrian 15:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I will also support a merge. Indrian 01:33, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge and delete into SYSLINUX. Article says he created the thing. Attests from Syslinux - Release branch :) Dlohcierekim 20:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Shorten, Redirect, and Merge to SYSLINUX, not notable enough for own page. -- E ivindt@c 20:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Ran across his name numerous times. He wrote NASM and is Linux kernel developer or something? On the other hand, there seems to be little to say about him and Image:hpa.png has a dubious license. —Ruud 23:33, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment In case of a delete, I don't think merging/redirecting would make much sense. —Ruud 23:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
