Biography that lacks significant independent coverage. The claim that those two papers are well-know is not attributed to a secondary source, but simply the opinion of the wikipedian that wrote that. The rest of the article records spats between him and other FOSS developers, using only primary sources. The lack of biographical information about him is rather telling of the lack of sources.

 * Delete - Appears to fail WP:PEOPLE due to lack of significant coverage. Lack of reliable, third party sources also violates WP:BLP. --  Davnor (talk) 14:44, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - There are a number of links to him on other Wikipedia pages and this page at least tells what his position is in Linux.Spitzak (talk) 20:28, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. A Google News Archive search returns mainly passing mentions, such as this or this. Having reviewed the sources in the article, I cannot find any reliable ones. Sources such as Livejournal, a mailing list, and a blog are unacceptable sources for a BLP. This article fails Notability (people), Verifiability, and Biographies of living persons and should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 02:18, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No significant coverage in reliable, independent sources? No article. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:38, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
