[edit] Jeremy Rosenfeld

Remember that scene in Gladiator? "I didn't say I knew him (Marcus Aurelius)! I said he touched me on the shoulder once!" This article is about as notable, on its stated merits. Can anyone develop this? No vote. Adrian Lamo ·· 07:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - See also this[1] log, which shows this page previously deleted by Jimmy Wales, and restored by User:Alex S. Adrian Lamo ·· 07:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - tenuous at best. --OscarTheCat^talk 08:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Rosenfeld isn't hugely notable, but he's on the periphery of something that is, and that affects the way people view WP. I'm trying to lean in the direction of information-rich here.
• Delete with extreme prejudice. Sorry, but man, how non-notable can an article get? :-) — RJH 17:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep These sort of things are weirdly worshipped by those in the geek community such as myself. The people that do something small that something huge results out of. Don't think theres any danger of it quite blossoming into jargon-file-on-wikipedia. But do expand- How'd he become interested in wikis and whatnot? -AKMask 00:21, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per RJH. Stifle 13:10, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep there seems to be some disagreement about the founding of Wikipedia, i.e. Larry Sanger's involvement, whose idea was it really, etc. This article comes dangerously close to being a self-reference, so maybe should be moved. But it is generally agreed my understanding that the person who set an important movement in motion is important. Thus, this guy is notable for setting the stone of wikipedia rolling, if wikipedia is notable, which according to WP:WEB it is. Makemi 07:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• A-bit-stronger-than-weak Keep there exist a controversy about who presented Jimbo with idea about wiki. Therefore, this guy is controversial enough to became notable. I'd keep the article and add more links as references, so person interested in the "who's idea wikipedia was" thingy can do some reading. i fact, that's what I'm gonna do right now. --Dijxtra 16:50, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - he might not be notable, but his legacy is. --Candide, or Optimism 23:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
