Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:BIO. References are profiles and news about other folk. Can't see why he is notable. scope_creep Talk 12:25, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
So, not a wikipedian, so I may not use the correct terms. But this article seems in line with other open source leaders that also have pages.
- "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field": There are only about 85 open source licenses that have been accepted by OSI; Lindberg was the author of the (arguably) most radical license since the GPL. This puts him in a very small class of people who have authored licenses accepted by the OSI. (Similar to Sam Hocevar, Lawrence Rosen, or Poul-Henning Kamp who have pages.)
- Similarly, Lindberg has been the head of or a board member of the Python Software Foundation for almost two decades, and completely reorganized the foundation. (Similar to Jim Jagelski, who has a page.) Lindberg's work in open source was cited by Intellectual Asset Management magazine - see https://www.iam-media.com/copyright/not-so-secret-source
- "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources" - Lindberg is probably best known for his public work against patent trolls. As well as a number of articles cited in the page, there are a lot more (Google "Lindberg patent trolls") - Lindberg has appeared in a documentary about fighting against patent trolls ( https://www.amazon.com/Patent-Scam-Austin-Meyer/dp/B0736G66P8, check the details for the list of actors). He also led Rackspace's fight against patent trolls and testified in Congress about open source and patent trolls both ( https://gigaom.com/2013/08/02/rackspace-helps-school-congress-on-copyright-and-open-source/).
So perhaps there need to be revisions on the style, or other parts added, but this seems in line with other Wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TargozInvictus ( talk • contribs) 15:21, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
There is one single ref that independent, in-depth and secondary for this BLP. It is complete crock. scope_creep Talk 15:41, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
