Leonardo Chiariglione
WP:BIO, although there is one 'claim to fame', it doesn't appear that there is much substantiation of this, as well as questioning notariety, brought to attention for discussion SkierRMH 22:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep He's all over the web like a rash. Needs source, but as the inventor of MPEG 1 Layer 3 make him very notable. This was the codec standard, that led to MPEG 3, i.e MP3. A real scientist. Check this out. http://www.drmwatch.com/standards/article.php/3094961 scope_creep 22:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Inventor of MP3 is a HUGE amount of notability. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 22:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Need a source? How about ranked number 19 in Time Magazine's "Digital 50", the magazine's listing of what they consider the 50 most important people in the history of modern technology. --Oakshade 23:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: As the person ultimately behind one of the biggest software inventions of the last 20 years he's definitely notable, there's barely a person in the western world who hasn't heard of MP3 and his work was important on that. Ben W Bell   talk  08:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep He's the inventor of the MP3. Come on now. Also, I'd say being recognized in this manner by TIME. --The Way 10:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep He is not really the inventor of MP3 but he led all the works related to MPEG; he created the MPEG (moving picture experts group) and chaired it from the beginnig i.e. for over 20 years. If not the inventor, at least he is at the origin of MPEG standards for video (used on DVDs) for Audio (mp3 being one instance of MPEG audio standards) and obtained a Grammy award for this work. However, this bio has tio be completely rewriten to stick to his exact titles of fame, who are numerous enough. Liagushka 21:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
