This person is not noteworthy per Wikipedia's guidelines. Furthermore, this person's page states that "He has written several books"; however, a search of Amazon or other major book retailer contradicts this. The claim appears to be false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jthorley65 (talk • contribs) 2009/11/21 06:14:08
- This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Topic has marginal notability, which matches the stub-ness of the article. His book, The Tao of Programming, should redirect to this page. And it is listed on Amazon.com, but not notable enough to warrant it's own article. Angryapathy (talk) 15:10, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Quoted in NYT [1] and identified as being on BNet where he apparently is a b;pgger under editorial control. Did an interview with Scott Adams etc. for BNet. Most notable person in the world? No. Meets notbility for WP? YEs. Collect (talk) 22:24, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
