[edit] James Longstreet (security)
This is a vanity page created about (and most likely by) a college student who was very clever in finding a number of security holes earlier this year but has no real notability. It squeaked through a VfD in March with very few votes either way, but nothing has been added to the article since and there are no significant links to it. I think it's time to re-evaluate the VfD (I vote to Delete). –Shoaler (talk) 17:03, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete judging by the linked articles, he was not solely responsible for finding the bugs. --TimPope 17:51, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

- Delete; Tim Pope is correct. If we do have an article about this, it should be about the guy's prof: "Students of iconoclastic computer scientist Daniel Bernstein have found some 44 security flaws in various Unix applications, according to a list of advisories posted online."

- Delete. I'm fairly inclusivist when it comes to people (to counter the more general Wikipedia bias in the other direction), but I don't really see the encyclop&alig;dic value of this article. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Other delete voters' reasoning is correct. Quale 17:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
