- AfD is not a vote - a nominator's rational is explained in the top and doesn't need to be reiterated in the discussion preemptively like this, it's bad form. WilyD 13:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Some things come up in researching this (in addition to the "Further reading" section of the article, q.v.) that appear to support the nomination: "He advocates something called Table Oriented Programming (TOP), that I've never heard of anywhere else.", "You can tell that this came from a DB head.", "Not only marketing speak, but Orwellian NewSpeak too: ignorance passing itself up for innovation.", "ah yes, the notorious "topmind" of comp.object, he of the non-terminating anti-OOP rants.". A lot of what is written about this turns out to be no more than copies of Jacobs' own web pages or entries in lists of people's bookmarks, moreover. Uncle G 14:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete - Appears to be made up. And a bit crazy. Artw 14:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
