 * Strong keep Notable computer scientist, originator or collaborator of algorithms used in almost EVERY computer (gzip, Adler hash). NASA, JPL, and CalTech are /not/ personal websites. Avi (talk) 22:14, 22 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep A Google Books search for his name plus Mars yields many reliable sources discussing him as a key player in Mars exploration. This article needs to be expanded not deleted.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  22:42, 22 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Neutral I'd like to point out that while the sites of NASA, JPL, and CalTech are not personal websites, many of the pages are still self-published.  Many employees have a user page or description that is written by themselves, and hosting it at nasa.gov/researchstaff/examplename does not make it more reputable than hosting it at examplename.com.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.229.2.157 (talk) 00:35, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The references should be better, but he is a notable programmer & scientist. - Frankie1969 (talk) 02:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
