As Philosophus put it: "Borderline G11/A7 CSD. This was created by an account that has only edited articles on the article subject and Spot.us. Given the subject of this article built Spot.us, it is incredibly likely that the author is the article's subject. While there is assertion of importance (making A7 questionable), there is little evidence of real impact and no independent sources, thus causing this to fail WP:V and WP:N criteria."

• Keep. Two independent WP:RS in the article, the article is currently a stub which has little left to do with the alleged COI start, User:Philosophus who PRODed in the initial state never had any comments after I de-proded and did some minimal sourcing... And before I forget, [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=Obie+Fernandez&cf=all Google News] doesn't exactly turn up empty, there's a good reservoir to explore at [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=Obie%20Fernandez&cf=all&sa=N&tab=ns Google scholar]... Could the nominator please take a moment and explain exactly what steps he took in accordance with WP:BEFORE prior to nominating this AfD? Thanks. MLauba (talk) 23:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Appears to be prominent within the Ruby community, that is sufficient for notability. Ray^Talk 18:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - I am at a complete loss to figure out what the people voting Keep above think counts as multiple, independent, reliable sources cover the topic in non trivial ways. So he blogged something that someone else disagreed with, great. So he's involved in some software. We can confirm that, sure, but that's not the same as saying he's notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Not even close. DreamGuy (talk) 14:48, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
