Keep – This is pretty well sourced, and the subject does seem reasonably notable. There were a few unsourced statements in the article, which I yanked, but blanking or deleting the whole thing seems unwarranted. inkling (talk) 15:01, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The sources do not check out. Just marketing fluff and advertisement. I recommend merging the relevant content into the Kingpin (book) article. Would be a better place. Computer companies that have no customers and offer services to other companies are not notable, nor or puffed up articles to promote their principals. The book content may be notable. This person is not and does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. 208.54.4.201 (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE - I located this on the internet on this website Ripoff Report. -> Matt Harrigan on Ripoff Report. This type of content should never appear on our project or wikipedia nor should wikipedia host these types of activities from an ex hacker. Whether true or not, it raises serious BLP issues down the road should it end up here. It's a non notable bio anyway, so I leave it to the closing admin. I also noticed that this article has been linked to a google popup on the advertising bar to scrape this webpage on wikipedia as some sort of ad on google. Just type 'Matt Harrigan (computer security)' on google and watch the ads come up on the right linked to our project. This article is link spam of some sort. 208.54.4.144 (talk) 19:25, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
