[edit] Ben Knauss

The article begins "Ben Knauss (born July 17, 1971 in Angola, Indiana) is credited as the primary software/hardware liason between PortalPlayer and Apple Computer for the development of the iPod project" and the remainder reads very much like some sort of curriculum vitae / resume. With about 542 google hits [1] is this document a valuable addition to Wikipedia, or is this self serving vanity? Could visitors (other than headhunters) conceivably benefit from reading this article? GRider\talk 23:22, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, claenup and expand. Megan1967 06:15, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Don't see anything notable here. Programmer (or "liason" or whatever), VP of small internet startup, those don't clear the bar. -R. fiend 07:44, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. IT person who has done a large bunch of different IT jobs, but doesn't establish notability. Radiant! 09:31, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Looks suspiciously autobiographical. Trilobite (Talk) 10:24, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks like a self written CV to me. No more impressive and important a computer programmer than my sister, and I'm not writing an article on her. Average Earthman 14:09, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, As the only person to ever go on record concerning the history of the iPod, I think its a valid contribution.
  • Delete: no evidence of notability. Wile E. Heresiarch 07:22, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - not notable enough Brookie 08:29, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
