Not notable, BLP1E at about the loosest definition of 1E available (developing a utility for an operating system). Google hits seem to indicate nobody heard of him until his death (three obits and his personal Google+ page in the first page of hits, and all his professional information is sourced from the subject's own resume, which, while hopefully not fake, likely runs afoul of RS.

Keep This article has only one day old, and missing many things to write. References can be found easily before his death, for example, here or here --GM83 (talk) 20:05, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom, all RS coverage is obit focused. No indication of notability apart from his creation of Yellowdog Updater, Modified. The slideshow linked above is not a reliable source. Dialectric (talk) 09:42, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How about a merge into Yellowdog Updater, Modified (yum)? He also worked quite a bit on the Fedora Project apparently, but not sure that would merit independent notability either. I added a little bit to the yum article, but maybe one sentence is all it takes. W Nowicki (talk) 23:23, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Yellowdog Updater, Modified: that's a clearly notable piece of software, and coverage of the creator would be a useful addition. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:19, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect, as above. Bondegezou (talk) 12:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
