The article should have been started as a personal subspace, as per Wikipedia guidelines.

There's a group of people now working to gather material and references that will make it clear that this article needs to exist.

This article belongs on Wikipedia because:
"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."
We'll refer to links to news articles regarding the person when alive, as well as to obituaries published by notable organisations.
"Any biography / The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field."
This goes for the person in question here. While you need to be quite nerdy to have an interest in the fields in question (SGML, Lisp, XML, Emacs...), we'll be able to demonstrate that valuable contributions have been made by the person.
"Creative professionals / The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors."
Again, a quick Google search will confirm this, but we'll build a link list that demonstrates this well.

I am not aware that a cause of death has been announced. According to his friends, he did suffer from ulcerative colitis, so I'm sure a source can be found for this. But we don't know more than that. Jon kare ( talk) 13:08, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
The article stated: Erik Naggum was an early proponent of using four digits to indicate year when storing dates on computers, in order to minimize the Year 2000 problem . Sorry, folks, early in this context means the 60s or 70s, and he was far too young for that. -- Zz ( talk) 21:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 19:39, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
