Deletion of Steve McIntyre (2nd nomination)

Comment: Please note that you are expected to make a reasonable effort to find reliable sources |before listing an article for deletion. A quick web search turned up a http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/enterprise-os-how-hard-can-it-be/2008/04/interview-steve-mcintyre-debian-project-leader/index.htm couple http://www.zdnet.com/debian-were-not-looking-for-commercial-fortune-3039406494/ of http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/17628-steve-mcintyre-elected-debian-leader good-looking sources. I didn't find a ton to indicate notability hence the weak keep

Comment: I'm a fan of the Debian project, but I really don't understand how anyone could think this article satisfies . The only reason this article exists is because Steve was once the Debian Project Leader, but that is not enough to be notable - it is Debian and its management hierarchy that is the notable thing here, not the individual. To satisfy , there needs to be significant coverage of McIntyre and his work (not the Debian project, but the man himself), and that coverage needs to be from secondary sources independent of the Debian project, and the coverage can not be simply covering events or news (like his election). This article fails  on all of those accounts. Of the two new sources suggested above by IagoQnsi, one is a regurgitated press release covering a news event (the Debian election), and the other is a very short interview. The news event does not satisfy notability. The interview might, but there is no way that one single interview could be classed as "significant coverage". One final quote from Notability: ''"We require 'significant coverage' in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list."'' In the seven years this article has existing, it has failed to expand beyond the "few sentences" stage. As McIntyre is no longer Debian Project Leader, and hasn't been for four years, it is highly unlikely that any new sources are going to appear that discuss him, his life, or his work
