 * Delete Doesn't even seem to claim notability, much less prove it. --MelanieN (talk) 15:36, 2 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN
 * Why do we care if he claims notability? ErikHaugen (talk) 22:09, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Because if he doesn't claim notablity, the page can be speedy deleted under WP:A7  TheWeak Willed   (T * G) 23:40, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I believe it's not so much if HE claims notability, so much as if the article claims he's notable. WoodenBuddha (talk) 02:35, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Not even that - you're talking now about deficiencies in the article, not whether it should be deleted. The failure of Steve or the article to establish notoriety is not an issue here. ErikHaugen (talk) 22:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep His blog has/had quite a following. Do a google search, he is quoted by others, interviewed, speaks at conferences, etc. The writeup for one of his talks here: says "If you're a software developer, you already know who Steve Yegge is." ErikHaugen (talk) 22:09, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable sources found to verify notability  TheWeak Willed   (T * G) 22:50, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even though I'm quite aware of who he is as a programmer, he doesn't meet our standards for inclusion. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   23:38, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
