Notability Euphonic 02:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC) — Euphonic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Insufficient reasoning provided to delete. A quick-and-dirty google search indicates that there is non-trivial independent media coverage about this person. There's also this press release from the United States Department of Justice. Agent 86 02:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable criminal hacker, though article needs cleanup. Possibly move to illwill. --Dhartung | Talk 07:28, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually he was not convicted for (or ever accused of) hacking, but for selling source code that he downloaded off of public peer-to-peer networks. Euphonic 23:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Non-trivial and notable independent press coverage cited. --JaimeLesMaths (talk!edits) 08:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, while undoubtedly notable the article fails to cite neutral sources and reliable references, both unacceptable for a reliable encyclopedia. Alf photoman 14:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Needs a total rewrite, article to be wikified per WP:MOS, categories to be added, and sources to be cited. Terence Ong 17:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
