I have no idea why this article should be deleted, the user placing the notice might not have properly read through the page. Sam Hocevar is going to become the Debian Project Leader, and all the other leaders have gotten biographical articles. keito 22:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I am still unable to see this conflicting with the policy, there was made no claim requiring any specialist knowledge to check. keito 23:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)"Primary sources are documents or people very close to the situation you are writing about. An eyewitness account of a traffic accident published in a newspaper, and the White House's summary of a president's speech are primary sources. Primary source material that has been published by a reliable source may be used for the purposes of attribution in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it's easy to misuse primary sources. The Bible cannot be used as a source for the claim that Jesus advocated eye removal (Matthew 18:9, Mark 9:47) for his followers, because theologians differ as to how these passages should be interpreted. Edits that rely on primary sources should only make descriptive claims that can be checked by anyone without specialist knowledge."
I've added an unsourced tag to the article, since the sources are not reliable. Wikimedia, personal sites, the Debian site? There are no third party sources? Well, one, maybe, slashdot, but is that reliabe? Corvus cornix 17:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I have re-added the unsourced tag, since there are still no reliable sources in this article. Corvus cornix 22:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree to some extent. I'm sure there will be a book in the future about Debian where Sam will be in, but the fact is that this just isn't Britney Spears shaving her head bold, ergo it won't see much coverage in news media. The debian website is the most reliable source here atm. I'd like to see another source for the DVD subtitles thing, but unfortunately I don't think this was ever covered by any reliable source. It just didn't blip on the radar back then. Again, perhaps one day it will be in some book. 130.89.169.27 11:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I must say I don't often edit on en: (I'm active on fr:, meta: and the foundation website) but this kind of behavior (Corvus cornix) does not make me eager to contribute here. I'll stay with the interwiki thing. jd 15:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
You guys are nuts.
Sam Hocevar has been elected DPL. There's only one person who can tell you he's been declared DPL, and that one person is the Debian Project Secretary. There's a link to the project secretary's results mail a bit higher up.
If a new pope is elected, that person is immediately notable by virtue of being pope alone, even before he's done anything. By the same rationale, a Debian Project Leader is immediately notable by virtue of being DPL alone, even before he's done anything.

Samuel Hocevar. No reliable sources. There should be some newspapers or tech journals which talk about him. The sources all seem to be from himself or from debian. Corvus cornix 22:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I just wanted to comment on a few things that may need to be added/removed/changed:
Best regards, Sam Hocevar 00:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
