[edit] Rusty Foster

This survived a Wild and Confusing VFD back in March Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Rusty Foster so i going to placed this article again hopefully not as crazy as last time. Looks like a nn blogger vanity page Delete --Jaranda | yeah]] 03:22, 25 September 2005 (UTC) My new sig

• Keep. Unless I am missing something, this guy verifiably created Scoop, and is the founder of Kuro5hin. The article could use some attention, but that's not enough reason to delete. Jkelly 04:23, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. You were right to re-list it given the whole Grider2 business, but the guy really does appear to be notable. The article needs some cleanup. Chick Bowen 05:04, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article leaves much to be desired, but Rusty Foster is notable.. the claim that the subject of the article is a "nn blogger" seems rather silly. --Mysidia (talk) 09:02, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and ask for clean-up. Vizjim 15:40, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Chick Bowen.--Alhutch 19:52, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable enough for me chowells 04:02, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable as creator of Scoop engine and founder of Kuro5hin, more notable than most software programmers or website founders. It could use some expansion, but I would bet it's been vandalized in the past. Barno 05:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable blogger, founder of Kuro5hin. Jessamyn 21:54, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete article has never been very informative, has been the target of vandalism (and you can bet it will continue to be), and I agree with those who say I'm not noteworthy enough to warrant a page in the first place. The most informative a page about me is ever likely to be is "Created Scoop." Can't that just be said on the Scoop (software) page like it already is? Kuro5hin 01:25, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
  • If it's true that you're CTO of Armstrong Zuniga in addition to your work on Scoop, then that would seem to give you notability beyond your half-sentence in the Scoop article. If the article is deleted, and you keep doing newsworthy things, it will inevitably return anyway. Repeated vandalism has never gained consensus on AfD as a criterion for deletion, for obvious reasons. Chick Bowen 22:58, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
