[edit] Gustavo Moya

Not a notable person. No assertions are made about importance, and some exploratory research indicates that there are none to make. To give a general idea: google hits for "gustavo moya": 571, many of which appear to be about different people. Hits for gumoz (an alias given in the article): 479, many of which are forum pages. Hits for ixaya gustavo (Ixaya is the open source community mentioned in the article): 13. I understand that Google isn't the last word on notability, but I think it's a reasonably admissible metric for gauging the notability of someone who is reportedly heavily involved in technology.

Update: Please note that of the three Keep votes, 1 is from an unregistered user, and the other two are by registered users who registered for the specific purpose of voting on this nomination (i.e. they have no other edits). Additionally, one is unsigned. What to do about this? --Moe Aboulkheir 15:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete It seems to me that computer programmers are notable when their programming accomplishments are. His biggest accomplishment seems to be something that never came off: "QSA, which promised far better audio than MPEG-1 Layer 3 but he dropped the project for lack of resources."

• Keep Here are some source on the web that says that Gustavo Moya modify source code on OpenSource software and help the community as the text on his profile. http://osx.iusethis.com/app/versions/498 http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=89065 http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-autoconf@gnu.org/msg00365.html here are some photos of him with other Geeks of the OpenSource: http://www.moyaortiz.com/Gumoz/Life%20Photos_files/GumozMaddogMektor.jpg http://www.moyaortiz.com/Gumoz/Life%20Photos_files/DSC00891.jpg (check at the photo and the 3 are sent by novell (check their credentials) This people are: Maddog first photo, and in the second is Miguel de Icaza http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddog . So that seams that all is true., Also the QSA is something that came off, He Sold the project here it is: http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/momentics621_docs/neutrino/audio/architecture.html.
• Keep I am not a great technology Guru, but I found some interesting things about Gustavo Moya, first of all, It seams that he is not only a technology enthusiast, He is in fact a person who do not get a lot of credit for what he have done. Searching in Google, I found a Link that confirms that Gustavo Moya is a person who do things for the community http://ixaya.com/Ixaya/Thoughts.html. --[Rushka Vek] 17:57, 29 August 2006 (UTC).

Whether or not he loves to do things for the community is not the issue here. My grandmother loves to do things for the community. --Moe Aboulkheir 15:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I don't see much evidence of notability. The article's significant contributor(s) have not made any other contributions to Wikipedia; smells strongly of vanity. --Piet Delport 15:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
