Reading the article this gentleman certainly seems notable but unable to find any independent coverage to verify the contents of this unsourced BLP. Searched Google News Archive, Scholar and Books plus Credo, WorldCat.org and my public library without any success. J04n(talk page) 19:59, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was able to find some sources here, here and here confirming that he was involved with the development of the Forth (programming language) in the 1970s and 1980s. I am not sure if this is enough to establish notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:21, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I created this page and apologize for not having included adequate citations. (Yes, I am a bit biased.) I just requested a copy of _Monitor (Take 2): The Revised, Expanded Inside Story of Network Radio's Greatest Program_ to be loaned from CSU Fresno; that should cite the appearance on the radio show. Cullen328: Thanks for the link to Leo Brodie's "Thinking Forth"; I'll add a citation. Let's discuss the matter further. Johnlogic (talk) 04:04, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When you created this page in 2006, John, no one would have conceived of it ever being up for deletion. Computer pioneer types like Stuart have always been treated kinder on wikipedia than some other professions. I'm not in favor of deletion, but would like a source or two added.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 05:08, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: apparently there's little appetite to delete this article, which doesn't really bother me.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
