 * Delete I can't see any indepth reliable source coverage outside Oracle. There are bloggers very proud of becoming Java Champions, but they're hardly independent either. --GRuban (talk) 19:21, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * This deletion is premature as we were just in the process of updating this article to address the concerns expressed. As for the question of independence, as a group, Java Champions are completely independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.4.78.123 (talk) 16:57, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and GRuban's rationales. Nothing outside of the close community of Java developers.--1l2l3k (talk) 19:43, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
