[edit] Judd Vinet

Judd Vinet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Nominated for deletion by 24.20.48.231. I have no opinion on the subject myself. --Finngall talk 20:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Delete I'm the anon that brought this up for deletion (sorry for the poor wiki skills--I'm working on them). There is no reason to have either a separate article or a redirect for Judd. His name already appears on the Arch_Linux page--we don't need another page just to tell us he's from Canada and went to college. There is no way this article qualifies for Wikipedia, and it should be deleted without delay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.48.231 (talk) 02:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC) I might also add that Aaron Griffin--the new Arch project leader--does not have his own page on Wikipedia. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to add a page simply to note his involvement in Arch? How is it any less ridiculous to keep Judd's page?24.20.48.231 02:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

  • I urged the anon nominator (hopefully not dynamic!) to leave their comments here ASAP as to why they nominated the article. Lacking their input, I must, by default, opine Keep.--12 Noon 21:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)struck my comment based on anon clarifying nomination--12 Noon 15:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Arch Linux? There doesn't seem to be any real sourceable information out there on him, but his (former) project is notable. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:29, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Arch Linux as above. Just being the creator or lead on a distribution or package is not notability in and of itself. This is, however, a plausible search term. --Dhartung | Talk 02:17, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete due to a severe lack of reliable third party sources about this subject. Do we have redirects for all of the authors who contributed to Microsoft Project? What about Macromedia Flash (now Adobe)? Or how about Turbo Pascal? No? Burntsauce 21:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
