The result was delete. First, AfD is not a vote. Therefore, Half of the comments below can be "publish" (there is no such option, but I'll take it as keep), but they come from SPAs and give no reference to any Wikipedia policy whatsoever, thereby meriting dismissal of such arguments. Reliability and notability on Wikipedia is established through the use of verifiable, independent, secondary sources as set out by our policies, and not through one's own testimony.

Probably an autobio. Notability check please. -- RHaworth 17:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Unsure. This is a real person that is noted in the fields stated on the page. I'm not sure how widely respected he is. •Malinaccier• T/C 17:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sources are either news releases about his latest job moves, or else do not directly mention him at all. Very little to verify. Article written in an overly promotional tone. Notability is very suspect at best. Realkyhick 18:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Publish Jason has published books on design and technology. If you contacted him and asked him a question, you would realize he is a contributor to the further development of technology as it relates to helping human beings, in particular bio-informatics. Most of his contributions in this field have been academic.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.132.246 (talk) 17:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Publish I read about Jason Alan Snyder in the book "FLASH Studio Secrets" published by Wiley back in 2001. He and his work is profiled in that book. I still have it. there's even a picture of him in the book. A few years after that I saw him speak at Virtual Worlds conference. He is the real thing.12.180.200.115 02:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Publish I have personally worked with Jason and have witnessed the growing sphere of his influence in technology and futurism grow over the years. He has written about, lectured on and developed technology solutions which have made their way into the modern lexicon. I feel this is a useful entry in weaving together those notable people and concepts which contribute to the fields of virtual worlds, futurism, technology and marketing.Freejade 16:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Do NOT Delete I am a student at Temple University in the School of Communication and I have attended two lectures by Mr. Snyder. The work he has done with "augmented reality" and mobile technology in the context of "physical world connections" is absolutely notable. He is an accredited and genuine technology innovator. Keep the listing. Owl90 17:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Publish I've read up on Jason's work as well and have stayed abreast of developments throughout, and can attest to his reputation within the fields of futurism and marketing.
  • Publish I have just added a New York Times article I found with the headline "PEOPLE...OF NOTE." I have to imagine even the most ardent of Wikipedia editors considers the New York Times a reliable source. The article profiles Jason (among others), as a person of "Note." Hopefully, this will satisfy the need for notability from a "reliable source." 24.187.152.136 03:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
