The result was delete. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 19:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

14 times over the last 10 years this article was anonymously vandalized. Several months ago it was proposed for deletion rather than being updated (prior referenced articles/sources to other websites had moved, so source links were no longer valid - not a good reason to just delete the majority of the content and then the article. So sad. I am happy to spend the time to re-source the supporting content to get this article back to its prior of being about technology and contributions instead of looking like an online resume. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TechHistoryPro (talkcontribs) 03:17, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This person does not appear to have significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The article before today was a clear resume, which Wikipedia is WP:NOT for. Izno (talk) 17:04, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify He is notable, but article needs to be rewritten. Kamran Ali El-Batli (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Elbatli, Just going to point out that draftifying a 14 year old article is essentially just deleting it. WP:DRAFTIFY makes clear that draftification is not a backdoor to deletion. Curbon7 (talk) 19:02, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I see that almost all text on the page was deleted before the nomination. -GorgonaJS (talk) 21:44, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; Not enough independent coverage to justify notability of individual, article had zero content other than resume material. (WP:NOTWEBHOST) A Google search of the individual only brings up information about him as an IBM employee. Theknine2 (talk) 07:12, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
