Article doesn't establish notability and is unsourced. Chealer 21:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Notable as founder/creator of Zenwalk Linux. Sourced by two 3rd-party online industry rags. --Evb-wiki 22:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep although the nominator is not obligated to do any research on the topic in question, there are sources out there to assert notability, plus the fact that it was this person that created Zenwalk Linux. I'd say to give this article a good cleanup and expansion, as it is a stub. (→zelzany - review) 23:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep: Needs more reliable sources; expansion. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 03:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: non-notable, non-sourced, no real potential as an article. Turgidson 21:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The creator of a notable operating system is probably notable, even if said operating system is only barely notable. Someguy1221 04:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. According to WP, Zenwalk Linux is just a Linux distribution. Sorry, I fail to see how putting together such a distribution is in and of itself notable, even barely. Is there a reference establishing notability in this case? Turgidson 16:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete As the creator of a barely notable Linux distro, which is not in itself a huge achievement, he cannot be considered particularly notable. Adrian M. H. 15:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Jean-Philippe Guillemin is the creator of a very popular and innovative operating system, according to Distrowatch which is a reference in the open source world. The article is sourced by two 3rd-party online industry rags and the personal homepage of Mr Guillemin. dinosaure Tue Jun 5 20:24:25 CEST 2007— dinosaure (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Strong keep. Jean-Philippe develops an internationally-known Linux distribution, number 13 on Distrowatch. Other lead developers for more minor distributions have articles, so why should this one be removed? I admit that the article is not as in depth or complete as it should be, but that does not mean it should be removed.
