Placing for deletion because this person is not independently notable according to WP:BIO guidelines, and the article about the subject arguably WP:BLP due to a lack of reliable third party sources. Do not be fooled by the two references cited in the article -- one is a primary source, a link to a website operated by the subject, and the second is a lawsuit between Sony and a former employer.

To recap: there are no reliable third party sources published about this person, period. My motion is to delete. Burntsauce 22:55, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as failing to be verifiable. No news articles to be found and I cannot see any assertion of significant personal notability that would attract others to write about him. Certainly fails the requirements of biographical notability as the article stands - Peripitus (Talk) 00:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to MAME, the project for which he's best known. --Dhartung | Talk 00:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to MAME. There doesn't seem to be anything worth merging, as there's no independent sourcing and none of it is particularly relevant to that article. Thomjakobsen 02:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and create a redirect to MAME for reasons mentioned. The article gives off the look and feel of an online resume and lacks non-trivial sources about the subject. Yamaguchi先生 02:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect as above; sources aren't about him but about the project. No apparently relevant Ghits to prove notability. SkierRMH 17:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. verifiability problem. Mukadderat 01:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
