The result was keep. The recent expansion of the article and the addition of references clearly establish notability; comments favoring deletion were written prior to such expansion. John254 05:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC) reply
A "biography" that says he wrote software and has a tattoo. That's not a biography, and he seems to be a basic professor, of which the world has many. Utgard Loki 15:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC) reply
Rule 3 The person has published a significant and well-known academic work: Kölling has co-written a book that has been translated into at least four languages and is the core text for the CO320 and CO520 Computer Science modules at Kent University.
Rule 5 The person is known for originating an important new concept: The object bench was the subject of Kölling's Ph.D dissertation [1] and is key feature of the heavily used BlueJ and a concept that Microsoft have now adapted.
Rule 6 The person has received a notable award or honor: Kölling has received two awards for his work as noted in his entry.
I now quote the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) page again:
"If an academic/professor meets any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, they are definitely notable."
Kölling satisfies at least three of these main points and therefore his entry should stay Tony Hunter 15:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC) reply
