Apparently Mr. Fay, or someone close to him, wrote the initial versions of the article under the username User:BearCreekObservatory but never declared a conflict of interest, despite Bear Creek Observatory's homepage saying that it was "designed and built by Jonathan Fay." The article was later turned into a redirect but the article has been revived, and I can find no significant coverage of this person. Fiachra10003 (talk) 17:50, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

:Oppose – Notable computer scientist and astronomer. I added links to publications and third party references. Ghettoblaster (talk) 12:13, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Checked all 18 references and none except for the interview have provided significant coverage on Fay as a person. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 18:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Appears to be a software engineer with a great job and lots of ideas but clearly not notable, per the sources. There is no wide coverage to show notability. Fails WP:GNG and does not pass WP:BASIC. AuthorAuthor (talk) 20:38, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- In the meantime, I added additional information I found on the web to show notability. Also, I added a number of additional independent 3rd party references. Ghettoblaster (talk) 21:49, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- :I just checked the new sources you have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Fay&diff=1130162872&oldid=1130115189&diffmode=source added]: none of these provide significant coverage as they are all passing mentions of Jonathan Fay. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 06:55, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I'm only finding mentions - articles about the software list him and Curtis Wong as the developers, but there's nothing else about him. If there is any other information it might make sense to add it to the article for the software since I don't see enough to support a separate article. Lamona (talk) 22:26, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
