270:. Also, it is not a fluke that the article has been around for two years with two dozen editors passing through and none of them tagging it for deletion. Also, note that CSD is specifically for unremarkable people or vanity pages, and the "assertion" requirement is a further restriction beyond that. It is not designed to delete articles about notable people which happen to not make a strong assertion of notability. While the CSD is prone to this error, if there is some indication that the person is
197:-- There are 2, such assertions, however, the article probably needs {{context}} more than deletion. I'll see what I can do in that regards. The two assertions(if weak ones) are that he's an editor of slashdot, which in notability is about the same as being an editor for the new york times(maybe that's slightly overdoing it, but my guess would be about the same readership levels on both things). Then again, I may be overestimating slashdot's importance. I'd still go with strong keep.

Cowboyneal is a cofounder of slashdot, just mentioning him as an editor. I have changed my vote above to reflect your disagreement with it.
129:- based on my ignorance of the term "editor" in Slashdot (confusing it with a wikipedia editor (duh!)), I voted delete earlier. It's pointed out below that I made a mistake, and so I'm changing my vote to reflect that

Very poor article, but if he's really a co-founder of
Slashdot that's all the notability we need. I've renamed and slight-tidied the article to make it look more like a conventional biography than a piece of fancruft.

Why's this page still here after two years? Anyway, this article should be gotten rid of due to the simple fact that this selfproclaimed cowboy does not pass any criteria let out in

If the nominator has to ask "Why's this page still here after two years", they should also consider that maybe, just maybe, the answer to that question is "the person in question
