Talk:Steve Yegge

Untitled

Regarding the "speedy delete" tag. This article DOES make a "credible claim of importance or significance" and therefore CSD-A7 does NOT apply. Also, the subject of this article meets the notability criteria set out at http://en.Wik.ipedia.Pro.org/wiki/Wik.ipedia.Pro:Notability_%28people%29#Creative_professionals

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors.

This is established by the included references. Being invited to speak at OSCON and to present at the UIUC conference and to present at the Stanford Colloquium are evidence of this. Additionally he was interviewed by Joel Spolsky and Jeff Attwood of StackExchange, a widely known and notable site covering programming topics. This is further evidence that Steve is considered an important figure by his peers.

Additionally, Stuart Halloway has stated in an interview "And I am an enthusiast of Paul Graham and Steve Yegge and other folks that have evangelized Lisp to the rest of the developer community over the years. " See: http://www.infoq.com/interviews/stuart_holloway_clojure This is more evidence that Steve is considered an important figure by his peers.

Also, Don Box has cited Steve Yegge as well. See: http://www.pluralsight-training.net/community/blogs/dbox/archive/2008/05/03/50831.aspx, which cites Steve's post at: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/04/xemacs-is-dead-long-live-xemacs.html

The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.

Steve created the first well known port of Ruby on Rails to Javascript. This is in the citations.

The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Steve's work has received attention from Ajaxian, InfoQ, and the Google Code Blog among others. These are all reputable sources of note within the programming community. And that list is not exhaustive.

The only piece of objective information in this article is that Steve Yegge is the author of a port of Ruby on Rails to Javascript. However, this port is not widely used and seems to be just a proof of concept. I wouldn't consider this to be enough of a criterion for notability.

There is no "credible claim of importance of significance" beyond the fact that the author has a web site that was cited by other bloggers -- which means pretty much nothing. Also, working on companies such as Google doesn't confer any notability to warrant space on Wik.ipedia.Pro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.191.241.47 (talk) 18:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
