Delete: Fails WP:BIO.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 23:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep: This person is very Googleable and has published many textbooks (used in colleges across North America) which now appear on the Wiki alongside their ISBNs. He is also considered to be "A Veteran IT educator" at http://blogs.itworldcanada.com/blog/2007/11/27/skills-and-training-advice-from-jason-eckert/. I have personally read two of his Linux textbooks and found them to be the best on the market for Linux certification.

Delete There are 8210 Google hits for "Jason Eckert" but most of them appear to be about other people with the same name, including a digital artist in New Jersey and an instructor at Marquette University. Most of the publications listed are courseware for use with a specific class at a specific school or otherwise not-notable. The article's lack of sourcing and categorization as well as a very weak assertion of notability make this a prime candidate for deletion. - Dravecky (talk) 04:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Delete They may be the best text books on the market but an article here is not warnted because it fails the requirements of WP:BIO due to the lack of secondary sources. - Ctempleton3 (talk) 06:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
