The person doesn't fullfill the notability guideline. mms 00:19, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Lead developer of the Camino web browser. Would you please explain how this article doesn't fulfill the notability guideline. AlistairMcMillan 01:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Pinkerton surely meets "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." AlistairMcMillan 01:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above comments Corpx 02:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep per above comments. Mozilla Camino is important and its lead developer deserves mention in the encyclopedia. —mako๛
- Keep per the above; being a lead developer of a project as large as Camino is definitely notable. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that Mms has been prodding a very large number of articles on free software developers. Not that they all deserve articles, but he should be respectful and prod/nom a few at a time. Furthermore, Mms should specify exactly what part of the notability guideline(s) each individual does not fit. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 04:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, Camino's lead developer is surely notable. I am unsure about the recent edit history of mms (talk · contribs), who has a) AFD'd a number of individuals, b) PROD'd a number of others, and c) massively decategorized under Category:Computer programmers and Category:Free software programmers, but my good faith assumptions are being tested. --Dhartung | Talk 06:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment mms has explained to me on my talk page that he was simply collapsing categories, and has reconsidered his position on some articles. --Dhartung | Talk 08:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep per above comments. --mms 08:06, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
