This guy does a good work, but is not notable enough to have an encyclopedic biography. There seems to be to little interest in the topic by third part sources. damiens.rf 15:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep One reliable source linked in the article already. Additional sources may be difficult to find, but I suspect this is less because they do not exist and more because they are hidden by the extremely large number of mentions of the subject due to his major contributions to especially notable works.

 * Delete unless a couple of serious resources can be found. Even then, the article consists of only 3 sentences. I found a few mentions of his name in gBooks on Linux, but nothing of substance. Assuming that his role in ARM Linux was significant, he could be named in the appropriate section of the ARM_architecture page. LaMona (talk) 16:54, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails notability. Maybe comes close, but fails WP:CREATIVE etc. --Jersey92 (talk) 02:44, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
