But does anyone know whether Mr. Nimmons meets the basic criterion for a person to be the subject of a Wikipedia article? I.e. has he been the subject of suitable source material? I am not convinced that being an IT blogger qualifies someone under the WP:ACADEMIC 'exemption'. Open4D (talk) 13:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

No? I'm tempted to add the notability template to the article, unless anyone objects. Open4D (talk) 15:55, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Subject is a Fellow of the BCS and IET, both premier institutions in the field. This asserts notability. Subject is also quoted by British Computer Society, Chartered Management Institute, Associated Press and other press outlets asserting notability of opinion. Academic notability is further asserted by additional Fellowships. Jbtrains (talk) 13:00, 24 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

I agree with Jbtrains. There are too many factors to reduce the profile to that of 'an IT blogger'. I vote in favor of retention as is. Davidjudge205 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:06, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Article has all the bells and whistles but is light on text Sarah777 (talk) 19:49, 3 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
