- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Googling suggests the sources don't exist. The subject's Ph.D. and credentials as the author of a few books are not sufficient for presumptive notability. Msnicki (talk) 20:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

- Keep The core of his noteworthiness is Policy-based design, which I think it's fair to describe as his personal innovation. As a Java / Python developer rather than a C++ hack I don't really know this topic, but it's notable enough for it, and Alexandrescu's name, to have achieved some recognition even outside his immediate field.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
- Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with Andy Dingley, he isn't quoted on the the first page of Boost for nothing. Also what do you expect to find ? articles praising him ? then you will probably get the same result as with Steve Jobs and Dennis Ritchie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ha11owed (talk • contribs) 22:46, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- I expect "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", exactly as required by WP:GNG. So far as I can tell, they don't exist. Msnicki (talk) 23:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- Really? That way I guess we will have to delete entries of most research mathematicians. I thought notability in the subject was good enough for Wikipedia? 128.32.168.30 (talk) 23:55, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- It's possible WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS but that's an argument to avoid WP:ATA in a deletion discussion. Msnicki (talk) 00:44, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
