Comment: As you know WP:BLP tends to have a bit of a higher standard for notability and sourcing. Here there's not really a lot of coverage or sourcing specifically on Fiedler as opposed to the work he as done as part of the development companies he has worked for. On the Criticism section, WP:ONEEVENT applies - we can't say that he's notable as a whole if the coverage about him is only picking up a very narrow thing he said at one time!

- Comment: It seems you might have a better shot at having an article for Network Next being published given the sources provide more information and coverage for the startup not the developer. Your choice, but I'm still declining this draft. Also, external links in the body of the draft must be removed. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:02, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
