One DOS Attack event only appearance, non-notalbe person. fails WP:ONEEVENT Gddoe (talk) 08:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC) — Gddoe (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep. The event made international news and has sparked an international debate about censorship. I hardly think it doesn't meet the notability requirements. The article could definitely use drastic expansion, though. bsmithme 08:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Gddoe, and welcome to Wikipedia! Keep, possibly rename. Either the blogger or the attack is highly notable. How this should be named is another matter. WP:ONEEVENT is just about that, and there are other venues to decide this, see WP:RM. Colchicum (talk) 10:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The person has been known in Russian-language blogs for years for his coverage of the previous conflict in Abkhazia and he is gaining even more prominence, assuming iconic status among pro-democracy internet community of Russian-speakers. --Bete (talk) 10:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - extensive international news coverage. Ekem (talk) 12:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Facebook, Google, LiveJournal and Twitter or move to 2009 social networking site denial of service attack as this is innapropriate as a biography per WP:BIO1E RadioFan (talk) 13:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Instigator of an international web attack with plenty of media coverage in reliable sources. Support renaming, perhaps to the users real name if that can be attained. -- Cabe 6403 ^{(Talk•Sign)} 14:08, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The guy has become a symbol of modern cyber warfare. It is interesting to note that the nominator appears to be a single-purpose account with strikingly good knowledge of Wikipedia's AfD procedure.--Kober^Talk 14:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:GNG Chzz ► 15:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is very important to keep this page. The guy is a well-known blogger and the information is very useful! — Georgy ch (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 15:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC) (UTC).[reply]

Keep - This is neither suits Facebook nor Twitter nor other pages. 2009 social networking site denial of service attack would not be a proper entry. This case is a valid political attack and should be left in the history.--Markiyan^Talk 17:18, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is big news, and we haven't heard the last of Cyxymu. This article will continue to evolve. — Campfamsam (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 17:27, 10 August 2009 (UTC) (UTC).[reply]

Keep Sufficient coverage in reliable sources to prove notability. --Cybercobra (talk) 16:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A major event centered around one person? The person's entry deserves to stay, not just be a footnote on Twitter or Facebook's. --There are no names left (talk) 23:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. // Gargaj (talk) 18:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
