Keep Co-creator with Blake Ross of the Firefox browser. Well known now for working on Apple's Safari web browser. Would you mind pointing out exactly how this article doesn't fit the guideline?

As far as I can see Hyatt surely meets "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors."
AlistairMcMillan 01:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)reply
Or how about "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field."
AlistairMcMillan 01:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)reply
keep if improved. There are no citations to establish notability, or even to establish the truth of the claims made. If citations are provided, this article should be kept. Argyriou(talk) 02:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)reply
Keep notability is established per above comments, so no need to delete.

Keep, as the others have said, contingent upon the addition of credible sourcing. If this guy is an architect of Safari and one of the co-creators of Firefox, I'd say he's notable enough for an article. It does, however, need some good sourcing to make it credibly notable.

Keep - Co-creator of the Firefox browser is enough to satisfy
WP:N, particularly "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." —

Keep as surely co-creation of a major software product is notability. I am unsure about the recent edit history of
mms (
talk·contribs), who has a) AFD'd a number of individuals, b) PROD'd a number of others, and c) massively decategorized under
Category:Computer programmers and
Category:Free software programmers, but my good faith assumptions are being tested. --

Comment mms has explained to me on my talk page that he was simply collapsing categories, and has reconsidered his position on some articles. --

Keep as he is Co-creator of firefox I think that he meets
WP:N.

Keep after reconsidering that he also »created and wrote the first specifications for the XBL and XUL markup languages.« Sorry for wasting your time with this. --
