Though I know Cross, and created this article, on second thought there is not really enough here to make a solid claim for notability per [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)]]. Yes, he has written some well-thought-out blog posts, but is that sufficient? He's not mentioned in the press, he has no publications in widely-circulated periodicals. He *has* founded a few small organizations, including one that had some impact in a political matter, and he is well-known in the hacker community in the southeastern United States, but those probably are not strong enough to meet Wikipedia guidelines. So, I am probably going to nominate this article for deletion. Does anyone else have an opinion? --[[User:Elonka|Elonka]] 17:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC) |

Notability
Though I know Cross, and created this article, on second thought there is not really enough here to make a solid claim for notability per Wikipedia:Notability (people). Yes, he has written some well-thought-out blog posts, but is that sufficient? He's not mentioned in the press, he has no publications in widely-circulated periodicals. He *has* founded a few small organizations, including one that had some impact in a political matter, and he is well-known in the hacker community in the southeastern United States, but those probably are not strong enough to meet Wikipedia guidelines.
