Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Till Tantau (2nd nomination)
His LaTeX packages are well known, but the man himself is not" confuses notability with celebrity. (Without |waxing too much, we have numerous articles on significantly more obscure figures in the programming language community that have handily survived AfD, like Mark Jason Dominus or Audrey Tang.) As David said tikz, beamer, etal are important cogs in the LaTeX machinery and importance/impact of work implies notability of its creator. I think this should be a simple case of finding items in the published literature that attribute these packages to him and document their importance. The article could then at least be a legitimate stub. I'll have a go at it and I hope that the panelists here might then have another look at it. Thanks
