Non notable per WP:BIO. Not seeing the kind of media coverage we look for when determining notability. Also it's been deleted twice before. Only not a speedy because those deletes were a long time ago. Agtx (talk) 21:33, 10 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete First 3 refs are defunct links. Other refs don't corroborate the main claims to notability in the article. Ergo fails WP:N.


 * Keep, is part of Free Culture and Freebassel campaign. Chengsi258 (talk) 15:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Looked at the Independent sources, add CNN, and some industry specific independent reviews, Artslant, etc. Chengsi258 (talk) 17:14, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Jon Phillips is notable in the Free Software/Free Culture arena. As Free Culture is in competition with MainStream Media, it is not surprising there is little media coverage. --Bob (talk) 03:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not appear any of the current refs provide WP:INDEPENDENT and significant coverage of Jon Phillips as required to meet WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Being part of "Free Culture" and the non-notable Freebassel campaign means nothing for his notability. A creator of Inkscape doesn't make someone a notable figure in Free Software, and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about mainstream media refusing to cover someone based on their opinions don't provide Jon Phillips with notability either. He does not inherit notability from Inkscape. To those arguing keep, by all means provide a source that meets WP:GNG requirements and any of the WP:BIO criteria, and I'll be happy to change my vote. &#8213;  Padenton &#124;&#9993;  18:48, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete There is very little in the references that support notability. I only see one actual article about him: #3 the interview, and I have no idea of this article can be considered a RS. The links to conference announcements are not substantial, mentions are not substantial, and videos of Phillips speaking, etc. are not third-party sources. LaMona (talk) 05:09, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
