AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Is this page notable? Previous AfD suggested moving the content to another page, but since then the page has been recreated. It seems to be an advertising of User:Hpa. Nergaal (talk) 22:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge. I don't get why they didn't follow the first AfD. Green caterpillar (talk) 22:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * They did; but other people went along and recreated the article later. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 03:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge; the projects he's worked on are definitely important and his position within them important, but I'm not sure there's much to work on about HIM. However, I think it's an unfair characterization to say "It seems to be an advertising of User:Hpa."  As far as I can tell, the article subject has never contributed to an article on himself, which is what saying that implies.  Was there any need to point out that the article's subject happens to have edited Wikipedia? Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 03:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as vanity page for non-notable person. No encyclopedic content to merge. Consists of unverifiable and trivial factoids that are not mergeable with any other article.  Jerry   talk ¤ count/logs 03:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep the subject seems notable enough - the extent of his involvement /contribution to the projects is beyond scope of Afd. His contribution to NASM alone warrants his inclusion. Annette46 (talk) 08:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - he obviously has been involved with notable projects but to what extent? The article is silent on actual, notable achievements. Smile a While (talk) 19:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
