This article leans too heavily on references that are the subject's own website.
editThis looks like a vanity page for a non-notable person. I see that it had been nommed for deletion, then somehow saved. I can't imagine it had been worse than it is now. Vivienjustj (talk) 14:24, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- the old-old version had basically no sources. this version... has all the sources I can find (and is a new version, unrelated to the old). And yeah, there are some self-published sources to fill in the gaps (but WP:ABOUTSELF).
- I think the most confusing aspect of the article is that the reason he is notable (in the current article) is the one book "Compiler Design in C". The rest of the article is kind of WP:COATRACK-style built around that. The heavy use of SPS is mainly to fill in the standard biographical details. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 07:38, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
- thanks for the clarification 😮💨. Vivienjustj (talk) 15:04, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
