Famous for making Orkut, and being sued for making Orkut. As he has not notability except for his relation to Orkut, either delete or merge with Orkut. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  23:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I do not feel a valid reason for deletion has been given. The nominator seems to by applying WP:BLP1E, which does not apply.  Creating Orkut, being sued for creating Orkut, and continued media presence due to having created Orkut is not one event. Would you propose deleting Barak Obama since his only claim to notablity is in relation to the office of the President?  &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  00:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - but I would like to see the article fleshed out a bit, if it is to stay. But for the moment, keep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tris2000 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
