WP:BLP of a computer security expert, not properly referenced as meeting a Wikipedia notability standard. The references here are not reliable source media coverage about him -- right across the board, they're primary sources, media sources in which he's the bylined author and not the subject, or glancing namechecks of his existence as a giver of soundbite in coverage of other things. The editor who brought it to my attention as a potential AFD candidate has also already removed a couple of bad sources, namely a patent application directory and a Facebook post, which aren't notability-building references either. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their existence can be technically verified on the web -- this article says nothing about him that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on the strength of real media coverage about him.

 * DELETE: There does not appear to be much written about Niemela that is not adapted from his own website. WP:TOOSOON David notMD (talk) 22:42, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
