Talk:Havoc Pennington

Havoc is definitely notable. The article just needs to be improved. —mako๛ 02:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

He's also spammed himself crazy all over wikipedia adding himself to dozens of unrelated articles for no reason other than "a guy who also did computer thing". This is all pointless self-promotion. 71.193.225.65 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

I fact-tagged mention of his advocacy of Gnome Online Desktop, rather than use http://log.ometer.com/2007-04.html as a ref: it's a personal blog, and appears to be on a personally owned site, so that it is not even reliable evidence that he said so-and-so at such-and-such time.

I am unable to find WP:RS. Not even [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Havoc-Pennington this] has any. WP:N not established.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:57, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

I am going to deprod, as the subject is well-known in the Linux and Gnome software communities. He's written a book on Gnome. There are multiple interviews with him by third parties, e.g., {{cite web|title=OSNews|url=http://www.osnews.com/story/4521|accessdate=3 January 2013}}, {{cite web|title=Free software magazine|url=http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/interview_havoc_pennington|accessdate=3 January 2013}}. {{cite web|title=Slashdot|url=http://slashdot.org/story/99/09/24/1056215/havoc-pennington-answers|accessdate=3 January 2013}}, with the first two reputable news organizations and the third, if not reputable, very high profile..
