Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pat Villani
as above.  I also echo JFHJr's sentiments.  Far from being "boring" or "obscure," the requirement that articles be reliably sourced is front and center as |Wikipedia's fundamental, irreductible core policy, and anyone who after four years on Wikipedia finds it too much effort to follow is - frankly - not an asset to the encyclopedia.  (The article's creator, after all, went no more "way out of his way" to create the article than have tens of thousands of anonymous editors in creating theirs.)  It is not Wikipedia's "job" to care about biographies of software authors; it ''is'' Wikipedia's remit to care about well sourced biographies of notable people.  A fallacy often expressed at AfD by aggrieved article creators is that if reliable sources aren't available for their subjects, Wikipedia's rules are at fault.  Wrong: if reliable sources cannot be found discussing their subjects, the subjects are not notable
