Person fails notability requirements, including
WP:BASIC – subject has only a few trivial mentions in reliable secondary sources. Non-notable details abound, entirely without reference. I searched Google, Google Scholar, and Google News. A page on his scholarship shows he has one citation. The only secondary source to mention him on Google Books describes one of his inventions as, "not going to become widely visible in the UNIX market." No mentions in Google News. The article reads as a resume-biography, and has had autobiography, notability, and reference issues unresolved since it was created in 2009. Authorship analysis shows 94% of the page is attributable to either the subject (User: Mcgregor94086), a single-purpose account (User: HollyScott), or an IP one time around the page's creation.
