Non-notable blogger who has a podcast; no published works and not well known within his field. Article provides little or no relevant biographical information and contains no real encyclopaedic content, nor any reasonable assertion of notability. IngeniousCritic (talk) 04:09, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong delete. Fails to back up the assertion of notability with reliable sources. While notability is asserted, it isn't really proven out: no awards for the blog, no recognitions, etc. —C.Fred (talk) 04:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: fails WP:Bio. Toddst1 (talk) 04:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as the article doesn't mention why the subject is notable. Fails WP:BIO. -- JediLofty UserTalk 07:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, fails WP:N. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete fails notability requirements. Nuttah (talk) 17:19, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep He is actually an author for the technical book: [http://www.amazon.com/ASP-NET-2-0-Anthology-Essential-Tricks/dp/098028581X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-5930318-7092844?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219562527&sr=8-1|The ASP.NET 2.0 Anthology] and he has also been a keynote speaker at the 2008 CUSEC conference. His blog is quite popular and I think that with some time, the article has potential. Althena (talk) 07:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
