Having wafted in here from the Prime Computer page, I think the flag for cleanup is not what is required. It is rather that, as written currently, the gentleman does not yet appear "important" enough to appear here. Hence I have added an "expert" request and removed the cleanup Fiddle Faddle 12:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I've alerted the originator and the most recent contribitor to the prod. Fiddle Faddle 22:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
  • It would seem that as the founder of a company as well known as Apollo, that he would be important enough to have an article, and the proposal to delete doesn't really say he wasn't important enough, only that the article doesn't make him sound important enough. So it would be reasonable to keep the stub article and wait for someone to feel like writing the potential article, I would think. He appears less important on the Prime Computer page, but more on the Apollo page. Felisse 13:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
    • The Prod is about the article, not the man. That he may or may not be notable is not truly relevant to the deletion proposal, theoug it woudl be cut and dried had he zero perosnal notability. It is that the article itself, to me, is not even good enough to be a stub. It is instead more of a placeholder. This is the reason why I alerted the creator and the most recent contributor. The companies he founded were important enough in their day, but does that make him notable? The answer is that the article needs to assert properly his own notability, or it is not encyclopaedic. There is nothing to prevent a content expert from expanding the content. If you feel strongly enough I suggest you take it to AfD, or expand it and de-prod it Fiddle Faddle 15:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
