Rafael Núñez (hacker)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Vanity, only two facts about this person: he was jailed in the US and is the owner of an PR web enterprise. Didn't find an independent source that validate his relevance per se, only an HOWTO note regarding the cleaning of online reputation (spanish) and a bloomberg note on the data breach in NASA with an old felony of Nuñez (hacking).

The article literally includes links to interviews with and commentary from him. Ironholds (talk) 20:44, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ironholds So are you considering keeping? SwisterTwister talk 07:03, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes? Ironholds (talk) 14:29, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ironholds, why 'World of Hell' is not enough for a criminal case of a member of this group (the only member with an article, btw)? Maybe to me it's obvious after I saw him listed as notable people in Caracas next to Simón Bolívar.--Oscar (talk) 20:29, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people lists are just that; lists of notable people. Not lists of important people, or lists of people ranked by importance. And you just answered your own question; because he's notable. We are not in the practice of aggregating and deleting the articles of notable people. Ironholds (talk) 20:49, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe delete as although there are some good news sources here, my searches found nothing to suggest better than this and this. SwisterTwister talk 07:03, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't that second search include two books and BusinessWeek? Ironholds (talk) 14:29, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure about this. On the one hand, as Ironholds points out, there are sources. On the other hand, the subject material suggests the quality of sources has to be super-BLP high and that it might be nicer to Señor Núñez if Wikipedia didn't give high prominence to something that's long in the past and not particularly well-remembered. The article's title sounds as unpalatable to the subject as Oscar Wilde (sodomite). Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 20:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge into World of Hell. Sources do not rise to the level of meeting notability criteria. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:28, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This person seems to have a gained notorious reputation for subverting law and order. The Bloomberg article [1] suggests that his reputation probably extends beyond his native country. RoseL2P (talk) 14:23, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He was well known in the hacking scene worldwide back to then, as you can see from the many articles even in mainstream media. --ElfQrin (talk) 19:26, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: only served a few months in jail, so seriousness or severity of criminal activity is not present. He hasn't done anything sufficiently notable with his life since then, unlike some hackers who go over to the good side and work with the govt (like Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds, LOL). So, overall, deletion is appropriate. Quis separabit? 15:43, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
