He led the development however he was not solely responsible for it, non-notable outside of the company. Wikipedia is not a linkedin of the company executives. Lacks significant WP:RS, fails WP:GNG. Meeanaya (talk) 05:49, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not notable, but not insignificant either. Sourcing is difficult. Bearian (talk) 00:11, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This article does not meet the verifiability requirements expected of BLP articles. While I don't call it "fake" outright, things written in it are very questionable. For example: "DeVaan led COSD to create Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7 and in 2009 became the leader of the development team delivering Windows 8 and 8.1." Really? Verification failed. Also, the person matching these descriptions is Steven Sinofsky. flowing dreams (talk page) 11:11, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
