Autobiography, written by the subject, and sourced exclusively to pieces written by the subject. There does not seem to be independent coverage meeting WP:GNG/WP:JOURNALIST. MarioGom (talk) 09:08, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

I would say that what we achieved in Australia in the mid 1980s with PC coax networks and multiuser applications was at the cutting edge of what was available with Novell NetWare networks but you may not regard that as notable - hard for me to judge Chrisgriffith (talk) 13:11, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not a place to publish information about yourself. The fact that the subject created it is something that compels us to delete it. If an indepdent editor then wants to come along and build an indepdently sourced article, that can be done, but we cannot have an article created by the subject.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:43, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Delete. Mr Griffith, if you are reading this: I wouldn't put it as strongly as John Pack Lambert, rather autobiographies are "strongly discouraged" (see WP:AB) because of the obvious likelihood of conflict of interest which impacts on Wikipedia's core policy of neutrality. To meet Wikipedia's basic requirement of being notable requires evidence (citations) from reliable sources-- please see referencing for beginners. Pages should not read like a CV, which Wikipedia is not. Please familiarise yourself with WP:GOLDENRULE. Given I am certainly aware of Griffith and his tech reviews I was surprised when I went looking (via Google and Newsbank) to improve the page that I could not find any WP:RSs about him in the hope of fulfilling WP:JOURNALIST. While he may be a long term journalist at The Australian, he still needs to meet WP:JOURNALIST and unfortunately I couldn't find any material to support that. Cabrils (talk) 22:46, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

  Nevertheless I really appreciate the effort that you went to Cabrils to improve the page. That's really appreciated. Chrisgriffith (talk) 09:18, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
