Response to proposed deletion

In regard to the proposed deletion. I feel that this concern is false and should be disregarded. The submission does meet the criteria for notability below. There are multiple published secondary sources, which are reliable, including major technology magazines, which have worldwide distribution, as well as publishing by major tech *Book* publisher, Apress. For these reasons the submission *does* clearly adhere to the notability guidelines, therefor the concern and request for deletion is false. : The article Matthew D. Sacks has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to meet WP:BIO guidelines for notability.

As a reminder, the guidelines for notability according to Wikipedia are as follows: A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published[3] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[4] and independent of the subject.[5]

Conflict of interest on Matthew D. Sacks

Hello Louella romano. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Matthew D. Sacks, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

1. Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
2. Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
3. Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
4. Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
