This article is entirely unreferenced, and has a wholly inappropriate tone for a biography. It was written by what appears to be the subject himself (Jimjag (talk · contribs · logs)). The claims to notability in the article are all unreferenced, "A/UX Guru", editorship of the Apache section of slashdot, and his partnership in Apache Software Foundation. Notability is not inherited, and the combination of three weak claims to notability don't rise above the other problems with the article (WP:RS, WP:COI, WP:V, and tone).

• Delete as nominator. /Blaxthos 23:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep Although the article does appear to have WP:COI issues, he is certainly notable in the field of computer science, as shown by pages of ghits. -- Dougie WII 16:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Did you bother to thumb through the content of those ghits? Most of it appears to be trivial (lots of newsgroup and blog postings), and simply counting ghits certainly doesn't do due diligence to WP:N (and ignores the other issues plaguing the article). /Blaxthos 19:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, clearly not a major figure in the OSS movement, and no evidence of notability in the article. SparsityProblem 03:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete WP:COI and WP:V. - --Brewcrewer 17:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep co-founder, chairman and director of The Apache Software Foundation reads like assertion of notability to me, and the ghits seems to confirm this claims. Greswik 21:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
