Fails
WP:SIGCOV,
WP:BIO. Potentially notable but zero coverage. Prod1 and 2 tags which were accurare, have been removed by caustic
WP:SPA. scope_creepTalk 00:29, 11 January 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete, per the PROD and PROD2 tags, there is zero-SIGCOV on this person in any RS, despite being a WP BLP for over 20 years. The only RS is on the Times rich-list (net worth is c £100m), and their donations to Cambridge (who named a lizard after him in return). If being rich is WP:N, the he would be a pass, but he is almost a ghost in terms of GNG.

Delete or Redirect to
Adobe FrameMaker#History. I added the prod2. Rationale was: Likely most notable as being the creator of
FrameMaker, but
WP:NOTINHERITED and what RS coverage I found (e.g.
[1]) is focused on the software rather than its creator.

Delete: Doesn't appear relevant or notable. Not enough sources either and they are non-reliable from my POV. StarryNightSky11☎ 03:54, 11 January 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete: The subject's notability is not evident.

Redirect to
Adobe FrameMaker#History. The creation of FrameMaker is notable, but there is not much coverage of the subject here, and it anyway looks like a
WP:BLP1E.

Delete and redirect. Creating FrameMaker sounds like the sort of thing that might reasonably lead to notability, but it needs GNG-level in-depth coverage of the subject (separated enough from the coverage of FrameMaker to show independent notability). It's the sort of thing that might have been published in a trade magazine of the time, but I couldn't find anything like that, and without the sources, we have no independent notability. Redirects are cheap, though. —
