[edit] Elonka Dunin

Amateur Wikipedian with an article. Does he belong on Wikipedia:Wikipedians_with_articles ? If not, then I think that the page should be deleted. He can describe himself on his User: page. Fplay 06:29, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Relisted for lacking input. Johnleemk | Talk 16:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Userfy per comments above. -- JJay 18:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I was advised to create the page since I was already mentioned in several other wikipedia articles. I have added links to those articles, as well as other biographical information to the page. -- Elonka 10:02, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Have you read WP:AUTO? - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 10:44, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes. I should also point out that I did not create the page. It was created by Zippy, one of the Wikipedia admins, who encouraged me to add the information. -- Elonka 11:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
I suggest that you use the Talk page to suggest mods. Even Jimbo can't get away with editing his own article :-) - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 23:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
It's guidance, not policy. If you have questions about the factuality of the article, that is best discussed on the article's talk page. If you have questions about the notability of the person described, see below. --Zippy 23:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep -- Elonka is a well-known scholar of the Kryptos sculpture. A Google search on her name yields ~ 10k hits, including multiple news references to her such as this article in Wired Magazine. The same search yields references from CNN, ScienceNow, and Guardian Unlimited.--Zippy 23:46, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- The page has been edited to better reflect her significance in the field of cryptography. She's well-known in those circles. -- Subversified 08:42, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Definitely a key player on Kryptos, which figures in to The Solomon Key (sequel to The Da Vinci Code), so there'll be more broad-based significance for her as time goes on. --Randal L. Schwartz 02:46, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- has enough popularity (google) and has anough links from other pages to remain. Tordek 02:54, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
