I am not convinced that this person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. There are sources, but none of them are the kinds of articles about the subject that are called for by WP:RS. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment The person in this article is notable in the IT comunity as well as in Puerto Rico. As the author/editor of several IT books he has certain recognition in that field. I believe the references are from notable sources like Microsoft web page and O'Reilly Publisher website (largest technical book publisher in the USA).

  • Reply What you need, to show notability, is actual articles written about this person, in newspapers and magazines for example, or reviews of his book in nontrivial sources. You've verified that he exists, but not that he is important. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I agree with mocotechochi... he might not be famous as Paris Hilton, but he is notable in his field. I added the two times I have seen somebody else talk about him. I can probably scan the CB article, how can we upload that? 70.45.149.21 10:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Sources are not sufficient to indicate notability. Doctorfluffy 22:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. None of the sources are independent, and thus do not satisfy Wikipedia:Notability. --SmokeyJoe 09:13, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
