This biographical article seems more suited for a LinkedIn profile than an encyclopedia. Interesting project work, but I cannot find any sort of coverage of consequence about the individual. AMFMUHFVHF90922 (talk) 03:33, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article is basically a resume and needs intensive care, but the subject seems to be notable. Some sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. The sources indicate that he is notable for having made a mark in the software industry. - Mr X 04:26, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I added the three refs I mentioned in my deprod of the article and cleaned up the formatting a bit. The four references consist of interviews at Free Software Magazine, two at OSNews and Slashdot. FSM and OSNews are reliable sources in the Linux world and Slashdot is a blog, but a widely read one. I've also added his GTK+ book, but don't know if this contributes to notability. It seems that there are multiple independent in-depth sources about the person and it's clear that he is known for more than one thing, so this isn't a single event, so he seems to pass general notability guidelines. The article still has a few problems in the form of unsourced statements, but these are matters of editing, rather than deletion. A notable person and surmountable problems with the article suggest that this article be kept. --Mark viking (talk) 04:48, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
