 * Delete, non-notable - this is really a bit confusing, as JIP should know better. Was this posted in jest? BD2412  T 20:21, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Not notable bio. Fallsend 20:54, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per BD2412. Actually, this should be an A7 speedy.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 21:20, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, Joona Palaste gets over 6000 Google hits (most of them archives of his Usenet posts to programming newsgroups). Used to be fairly notable among the Amiga fandom community but probably not any more. &mdash; J I P | Talk 09:04, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Having lots of Google hits is not sufficent for notability. "Ilmari Karonen" gets about 11,800 hits, for much the same reasons.  Nonetheless, I see no reason to start an article about myself unless I actually accomplish something encyclopedic.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 11:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Are you sure they're all about the same Ilmari Karonen? "Joona Palaste" is a much rarer Finnish name than "Ilmari Karonen". &mdash; J I P | Talk 12:22, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * To my knowledge there is only one person going primarily by the name Ilmari Karonen alive today. All those hits do appear to be about me.  (Correction: I found one page referring to my uncle by his full name and four pages (all dead links now, alas) referring to someone named Ari Ilmari Karonen.  So that'd make it about 11,795 hits. ;-)) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 12:51, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep This is although a niche and a stub, about nonetheless a living person some one who has an effect on a fair amount of people and therefore is worthy of note. Just because someone is behind the scenes and lack international aclaim doesnt make them less notable. so if we are judging on percieved notablility are we not judging celbrity, The acter may act but the stage crew make him who he is.
