Strong speedy keep. By now the notability has been fully established in numerous interviews and mentions from NPR, techdirt, GQ Magazine, Huffington Post and more. -TheWesternWorld (talk) 06:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I only see one reference about him. More is needed.--Mjs1991 (talk) 06:52, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Best known for something that's not well-known? A tenuous attempt at notability at best. Add the non-BLP compliant quality/quantity of references, this should have been allowed to be speedy deleted, lest the subject be further embarassed (✉→BWilkins←✎) 08:27, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Mr Brittain is only notable because of IsAnybodyDown? which is already listed and for no other reason. Shritwod (talk) 09:44, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete once more for reasons given by Shritwod. Lukeno94 (talk) 10:12, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability is not inherited; Mr Brittain's website Is Anybody Down? is notable (it's possible that Takedown Hammer is as well, though we don't yet have an article on it), but I can find no coverage of him which amounts to more than "he founded Is Anybody Down?". That's not enough. Aside from unreliable sources such as blogs, there's insufficient coverage of the man himself to warrant an article. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:14, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep this is a sock puppet campaign against a notable person. This article has been effectively vandalized by people who dont want to give the man his notabilty, mostly jealous kids. Notability is inherited - we all know Jimmy Wales would not be notable if not for Wikipedia (Personal attack removed). Likewise if Jimbo is notable, so is Mr. Brittain under WP:JIMBO-184.232.133.97 (talk) 12:25, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources indicate that Mr. Brittain himself is a notable person. The article itself needs to have more of the notable sources added to it. -64.34.180.32 (talk) 13:26, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
