[edit] CSD/A7 / A(x)

>>2007-01-02T11:35:05 Bogdangiusca (Talk | contribs) deleted "Roberto Preatoni" (notability not asserted, CSD A7)<<

I don't believe this article meets the criteria for speedy deletion, as the association of the article subject with a notable computer security site is at least a claim to notability.

As such, if someone has doubts about the article notability, it should go to full AfD.

Further, per the above, I don't believe this to be speedyable as recreation of deleted content since this was an article about a potentially notable individual which was technically deleted out-of-process (though in good faith).

[edit] Notability, cleanup, COI

User:Raistolo obviously believes Peatoni is notable, and I'm inclined to believe him.

However, this article is at best WP:NPF, and should be confined to the specific things that make the subject notable --- those apparently being:

1. Presenting at DEF CON and Blue Hat
2. Getting arrested (heh)
3. Founding Zone-H

Things I would like to see this article being careful about:

• Not using a bio of marginal notability to promote things like webcomics
• Not including superfluous details about the subject's life, family, etc
• Not using the article as a beachhead to add unneeded content about things like Zone-H

I also note that the IP editor in the edit history is probably the subject himself, and caution that I'm going to be pretty ruthless about striking WP:COI edits.

Hopefully I helped clean this up a bit. Sorry if I didn't. Happy to hear comments.
