No references added to the article for three years. The text contains a request to check the citations for "Drag and Drop", the one citation provided there that mentions the author is the author's web page. Searches and Google (web, news, books) appear limited to the author and to Wikipedia and it's mirrors.

Was momentarially marked for speedy in 2007 but the article does make a valid claim for notability, I don't see in the history (maybe I"m missing it) that it's been prod'd or AfD'd before, I figure AfD is the more conservative route. Joe Decker (talk) 02:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO and perhaps fails WP:V. One result, not viewable, at Google Book Search for "Jeffrey Greenberg" "drag and drop". Are there sources verifying he invented it, and did he get significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources? Edison (talk) 15:39, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no coverage for this individual. The claim for "drag and drop" is that he had the first program under Windows 2.0 to use drag and drop. That's not particularly notable as the drag and drop UI interaction paradigm was already established in other operating systems. And in any case, trying to verify that claim has shown only one potential source that is unviewable. I'd expect more corroboration to establish the claim, and a lot of hoopla about it in order for me to accept it as a notable achievement. -- Whpq (talk) 16:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No serious evidence found of drag & drop claim outside of CV; notability requires evidence.
