Aaron Hillegass

The only thing I've been able to find out about him is that he wrote a book on Cocoa programming and wrote a course for teh Big Nerd Ranch. I don't think he's noteworthy enough for an encyclopedia article. Exabyte (talk)­ 04:48, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep >> 14,600 Google hits in quotes. --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 04:57, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: There are a lot of Google hits, but they're all blogs, interviews, and bookstores selling his book, and there are a lot of multiple hits from the same site. I was looking for some sort of newspaper article about something noteworthy that he has done. Does the number of Google hits really measure notability? Exabyte (talk)­ 05:12, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
    • Writing a well-known book is notable: appearing widely in the media is an indication of notability. (Keep) --Mysidia 05:32, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Agree with the above. Keep. Agentsoo 09:27, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Aaron is a major figure in the Cocoa developer community. His book is pretty much the introductory text for Cocoa.
