I cannot find the necessary coverage of this person himself in reliable sources, directly and in detail to meet WP:BIO. The original article was created by User:Jholmes612, probably the subject. The single claim to notability "Oracle Magazine named him “Java Developer of the Year” in 2002" has been copied and repeated in many documents but I cannot trace the original publication to verify this. Even if substantiated, this is insufficient to meet our notability standards. Just Chilling (talk) 22:24, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—I think the better chance of notability would be via WP:AUTHOR, but while the books he's written have reasonable holdings per worldcat, they're the kind of low-level technical books that don't tend to garner in-depth reviews. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 10:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep Clearly meets NAUTHOR. Both Struts and Art of Java are in over 600 libraries. And, a/c worldcat, translated into Japanese and Chinese and Spanish. The combination shows the importance of the works. DGG ( talk ) 04:46, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Much authoring of the article was done using account Jholmes612, probably the subject himself. In terms of notability, this person seems to have been doing his job (developing Struts and writing technical books). None of the articles are about him, so the article on Struts appears to suffice.
