Lack of notabillity, not really a "key figure" → Aza Toth 12:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Project leader on Kerberos. Well known as a Linux kernel hacker, as the article points out the first in North America according to Linus. Received an award for his work from FSF. Interviewed by numerous organisations. What was the standard for this type of article supposed to be again: notable figure within his field of work? Something like that? Are you seriously suggesting this guy doesn't qualify? AlistairMcMillan (talk) 17:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * BTW Please note the other people who have received the same award from the FSF. Andrew Tridgell, Theo de Raadt, Alan Cox, Lawrence Lessig, Guido van Rossum, Brian Paul, Miguel de Icaza and Larry Wall. Is someone that the FSF lumps in with that group really lacking in notability?

 * Keep; seems to be notable enough.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Alistair. I was convinced of Ts'o's notability beforehand, but now I am really convinced. --Gwern (contribs) 20:09 2 July 2008 (GMT)
 * Keep per Alistair. He's done a bang up job of showing notability.--Falcorian (talk) 03:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
