This article was originally speedied by me as a non-notable person ("budding physicist" doesn't connote established notability to me, and "ethical hacker"?? However, the material was recreated, and given the list of refs, that can be taken as an assertion of notability, so further speedy isn't the answer. The creator asked that it be brought here. For my part, I don't see the notability, and suggest delete AKRadecki^Speaketh 14:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I think the article should be retained. BTW, he is popular as a "columnist" and as a "programmer" and not as a "budding physicist" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karthika.kerala (talk • contribs) 15:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article's main emphasis is presently on his undergraduate studies in physics. If he is notable as a columnist or a programmer instead of as a student, please rewrite the article accordingly. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Many tech magazines in India carry his columns . I think he is more popular as a columnist (and a programmer) than a physicist Sforshyam (talk) 17:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
