The result of the debate was REDIRECT to ESRI — Gwalla | Talk 21:29, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jack Dangermond

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Substub on president of ESRI; not sure how notable that would make him. Nominator abstains from voting. — Gwalla | Talk 05:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: international company, been around since 1969 [1]. Do we have a precedent for company presidents? --bainer (talk) 08:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to ESRI. Proto 10:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • A redirect to ESRI would be better than this substub. He is Mr. ESRI - any bio of him would probably duplicate a good corporate history, so I'd say they're better merged. He's the best-known name in the geographic information systems field, but that's perhaps not saying much. CDC (talk) 19:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recreated article

I have recreated this article (didn't see this talk page). I wiki-linked his name on the ESRI article and the link just redirected back to ESRI (odd, unexpected behavior). Anyway, he has been instrumental in the development of Geography (academically) and GIS. I think he ought to have a separate article, distinct from ESRI. So, I'll keep what I have written. If others disagree with having this separate article, let's discuss it here. --Aude 04:33, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

I removed the merge note from the article. --Ray 14:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
