Keep: Dominus enjoys a similar status as Randal L. Schwartz or Larry Wall (and unlike them is in fact a direct participant in communities beyond Perl's). If those are not eligible for deletion, then this one isn't either. (Not that I'd expect someone who spells Perl as PERL to know much about the community or who are its cornerstones…) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristotle Pagaltzis (talk • contribs)
Comment Of course not. The Community of PERL isn't particularly notable. It would be like saying members of our community are encyclopedic enough to be notable just because of Wikipedia. The only person that would work for is Jimbo. karmafist19:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Right. Now imagine Wikipedia was 20 years old and had a board that consisted of more like 20-30 members, a handful of which had contributed significantly to all of the code running Wikipedia, its direction as a community, and its actual content.
