Irrelevant and self-promotion[edit]

This article should be deleted, as it is irrelevant. It centers about somebody alive, whose work and interest to history merits the same as those of thousaads of technical/academic professionals.

It's easy to see, reading the article, the intent as self-promotion (and/of perhaps also that of the company he works for), manufactured fame, and artificially built renown. And also this manipulation reachs to the point of contaminating other articles, putting his name as something relevant in the article of the quicksort algorhytm, for instance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.37.231.10 (talk) 07:59, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
