Deletion of Mike Beltzner

Comment: per above. Close but no guitar, the sources aren't quite enough to get him past . All of the keep arguments seem to be baseless, assuming that he's notable just because of his position. Inherent notability is pretty much a crock. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Special:Contributions/TenPoundHammer|Many otters • :User talk:TenPoundHammer|One bat

Comment: I'm really not sure about this one, and spent some time thinking about it; but ultimately I'm convinced by the claims that, despite the lack of RS, he ''is'' (just about) notable. There's little available in the way of coverage from reliable sources; there is a blog interview, and he also apparently gave an interview to the Inside the Net podcast, but pretty much nothing from major media. On the other hand, I agree that the position - Director of Firefox - 'should' be notable; so I just have to go with my gut instinct here. (I realise  isn't much of an argument, but for comparison, we do have articles on various Christopher Blizzard|various Dave Miller (software developer)|other John Resig|Mozilla Johnny Stenbäck|employees, who seem to be less important than him. All have marginal notability, but I don't think any of them are problematic enough to delete

Comment: The position of "Director of Firefox" is not notable. Sorry, to get a bit , but it does actually help to make my point. Is the Director of IE notable (can't find his article)? How about Chrome? The CTO of Opera has a page, Håkon Wium Lie, but he's notable for his work on CSS. By suggesting that the Director of a major software product is notable the inference is that all his compatriots in the industry are notable. How about the Director of MS Office? And why restrain it to software? Where are the pages for Ford's Director of Commercial Vehicles, the director of Coca-Cola's Fruit juice business? What about the head of HR for ExxonMobil? I use firefox, I love it, but the current director of its roll-out has no place in an encyclopedia. I'm afraid most of the keeps are suffering from |systemic bias: "I use firefox a lot, so the person who makes sure it gets to my desk ''must'' be notable" (obviously, I'm simplifying to make my point..). The firm which does X probably is notable, but the person performing that task at a specific moment in time is not notable unless they do something amazing or something terrible that gets the required depth of coverage
