Junio Hamano

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Originally, I marked the page for speedy deletion due to an apparent lack of claim of notability; the notice was removed by the creator. Subsequently, it was proposed for deletion with the following reason: "Non-notable living person, possible merge to Git (software) as this individual has nothing noteworthy about them besides being the developer of Git, an open-source software application. May not be worth even merging though, as this article has very minimal content." Since the deletion was already contested by the author (and since there's a proposal to merge the page), I'd say that a full debate won't do any harm. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Can someone translate this and say whether the subject is treated in a non-trivial fashion? This book is also a possible source. Even though I'm bringing up these sources, it seems to me that this is a case where notability is not inherited. Jeremiah (talk) 19:05, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect. The German source Jeremiah mentioned above just says he manages the Git software nothing else. Since he only seems to be known for working on this software, I think a redirect is a good solution. - Mgm|(talk) 20:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect, merge, or delete I more-recently PROD'd the page, since the original author had removed the earlier PROD. I just don't feel the individual is notable - if we had a stub page for every open source software developer, things would get out of hand very quickly.  It could be that a redirect or a merge (if any content is worth merging?) is a worthwhile move, as well.  Whatever the concensus is, is probably going to be for the best.  71.61.220.126 (talk) 18:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
