Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terry Shannon
As per , Shannon may not have been Bill Gates, but he was, at the time, a widely read, highly influential journalist and author.  Granted, most of his contributions to technology journalism occurred when our over-zealous AfD experts were in diapers -- but his inclusion in Wikipedia is well within the established guidelines for notability.  His publications are mostly pre-Web -- but the same could be said of Shakespeare.  (Edited later to add): And just to give an idea of the perspective of Lefly, the main instigator of this deletion campaign, take a look at his own articles:  numerous paeans to obscure rock bands no one's ever heard of, flop TV shows from 15 years ago, and totally inconsequential arts nonprofits.  Compared to those subjects, Terry Shannon merits an encyclopedia of his own, never mind one page
