Why is this page back? I thought it was agreed this article fails the notability requirement. Can't we just delete this once and for good?
How is the author of a popular web server not notable? cool-RR (talk) 21:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I think he is most notable for being the troll change 334991564 mentioned. Mongrel was only popular among RoR developers and that limits how popular it can ever be. Nginx and Apache are popular. Mongrel is niche. I also find the label of "first modern approach" to anything slightly disturbing and an unbelievable overstatement.

@Rbanffy > Mongrel was only popular among RoR developers
Yes. There's a lot of Rails developers. And Zed's more noted for Lamson and Mongrel2 than writing essays these days.

- Classic example of "Others are less notable and included, so he should be too" argument. "Everyone knows him" - not a reason either, even if it were true. This person's notability should be judged by the official notability guidelines and nothing else. I'm not saying Shaw isn't notable. I never heard of him, but who am I to judge? Neither is anyone else.
- Articles about him published by a decent source (print if possible - yes, that's biased) would be convincing.87.78.3.205 (talk) 18:54, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
