Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Pariso
I'm nominating this page for deletion because I really have no idea what should be done with it. The first three paragraphs are a copyright violation from this page, but the whole article is not (and never was) a copyright violation so it can't be speedy deleted. The article was started by Supernerd2005 (talk · contribs) who has made no contributions outside the Steve Pariso article. Checking special:whatlinkshere/Steve Pariso, I notice that the article is effectively orphaned - the only links in mainspace to it are from place name articles; I only found it while fixing links to a disambiguation page. The name "Steve Pariso" gets only 870 google hits, which is incredibly low for someone who has done work on technology. More importantly, these Google hits don't give me any idea why this person belongs in an encyclopedia - I can't find a special achievement that merits a whole article being created for him. However, I may be wrong - I don't know much about computer marketing. Graham87 07:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete There is no assertation of notability. In fact, the whole things reads like a CV. --Malcolmxl5 08:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

- Delete per above. The fact that it has been extensively edited by IP addresses raises suspicions and, while not reason itself to delete, adds to the effect. Bearian 21:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Save I dissagree. As a technologist, and hardcore nerd, I know who this is. Too many people that do not spend their time in the spotlight and that still change the way we live and think dissappear from this pedia because of uneducated deletion. This guy is the real thing. I was excited to see his envolvement in ALICE or the group developing Artificial Intelligence Markup. I did a search and here I am. The fact that you are here debating is indirectly related to this guy. I studied his User Interaction principles and user adoption principles in computer science. I once saw him speak at Brown University for IBM: how can you forget a teenage speaker? I also see snippits of his code in various web servers. Although, I sure some people would'nt care, I think it would be a mistake to delete this. Now, that said, it does look like it was written as a CV. It does also look like a few IPs edited it. I think it needs a rewrite. Do'nt delete. Here is just one source http://docs.hp.com/en/282/console.pdf I am sure that I can find more to confirm the claims here. Another, http://magazine.concordia.ca/2005/september/features/Communications.shtml I guess I see his name more burried in programming code.
