Notability
editHavoc is definitely notable. The article just needs to be improved. —mako๛ 02:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
He's also spammed himself crazy all over wikipedia adding himself to dozens of unrelated articles for no reason other than "a guy who also did computer thing". This is all pointless self-promotion. 71.193.225.65 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Gnome Online Desktop
editI fact-tagged mention of his advocacy of Gnome Online Desktop, rather than use http://log.ometer.com/2007-04.html as a ref: it's a personal blog, and appears to be on a personally owned site, so that it is not even reliable evidence that he said so-and-so at such-and-such time.

Prod
editI am unable to find WP:RS. Not even this has any. WP:N not established.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:57, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Deprod
editI am going to deprod, as the subject is well-known in the Linux and Gnome software communities. He's written a book on Gnome. There are multiple interviews with him by third parties, e.g., [1], [2]. [3], with the first two reputable news organizations and the third, if not reputable, very high profile..
