Here is a MSDN source: Huckaby is a speaker on MSDN's Channel9. ^[3]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Softdevusa (talk • contribs) 19:44, 22 June 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Tim Huckaby was the Microsoft Regional Director of the Year in 2003 as stated in the Wikipedia article. Softdevusa (talk) 12:43, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment First, this entire article basically sounds like one big promotional page for Huckaby, and it is entirely written by one user, Softdevusa. Second, most of Huckaby's notability claims comes from within Microsoft. Although Huckaby is head of a separate company (InterKnowledgy) that received recognition from Microsoft, I'm still not sure that Microsoft is a suitable secondary source for claims of notability. --I Jethrobot (talk) 16:57, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lack of notability. I acknowledge that his company is a recognized Solutions partner of Microsoft. On an unrelated note, this article is a mess. DevConnections is a non-notable conference and its bio of Huckaby as a speaker there is not entirely independent. This article does not even mention him, though it is cited to say that Huckaby has trained many in .NET. Huckaby is only briefly mentioned in this PC Mag article and videos in the Channel9 forum are not inherently notable. --I Jethrobot (talk) 16:57, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Updated eWeek Link to correct article where it states his company was hiring many people & they would train them. Also removed the Devconnections reference. Is there a list of notable conferences? Softdevusa (talk) 17:09, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep added Notable conferences Huckaby has presented technical presentations at Tech·Ed North America and Europe. He also spoke at MIX10 Added two more references from CRN & InformationWeek. Softdevusa (talk) 17:35, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2 more References USA Today & CNET Softdevusa (talk) 18:13, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment These two sources reflect the same article and it is only a single-sentence statement by Huckaby about a new laptop's use of the Windows platform. The article itself is not at all especially about Huckaby and more about the Longhorn delay. I Jethrobot (talk) 01:57, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The only person to say keep on this is the page creator, who has done it twice - and now a user named 'Timhuckaby' has started editing the page. Reichsfürst (talk) 23:50, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A user named 'Timhuckaby' who editing the page may have a vested interest in stub.
