Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and fails to state a reason the subject should be considered notable in lieu of sources under WP:ANYBIO. Googling turned up nothing helpful, including nothing helpful from books or scholar. Msnicki (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GS h-index of 7 nowhere enough in this highly cited field. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:30, 24 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. I'm not convinced that elected leader of the Debian project is inherently notable, enough to inherit notability from Debian itself. And he does not yet have enough notability as an academic. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:38, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with David Eppstein on lack of inherent notability for role, and lack of notability as an academic. I considered general coverage of Nussbaum to meet WP:GNG, and taken on the whole it did not meet what I consider enough significant RS coverage to establish notability. I found two types of coverage to consider: two medium/longish interviews with Nussbaum, and a number of brief articles just after each election, mostly in marginal sources. The scope of short articles didn't provide significant coverage, and the strength of the sources was generally weak (I would weigh similarly-sized articles more heavily if they were in Linux Journal, IEEE Spectrum or Le Monde). The interviews cannote some notability in that he was worth interviewing, but they consist almost entirely of Nussbaum's replies, rather than independent coverage about Nussbaum, and so I don't consider these very weak indicators. While less nuanced judgement might consider two or three of the first three sources below meet the multiple, independent, RS coverage requirements, it feels like a stretch to me.
