New Objection to Deletion

[edit]

Since this article was proposed for deletion, Mr. Hickey built a new database called Datomic which has its own article. I think it makes less sense now to redirect this page to Clojure. I disagree with the original decision to delete this article. If the same logic that was applied here holds, I would expect Martin Odersky's article to be deleted as well.

I did a roundup of additional sources:

Other Lisp/Java Work

[edit]

Rich has also done other work to bridge Lisp and Java. Bill Clementson's blog has details: http://www.google.com/search?q=hickey+site%3Abc.tech.coop%2Fblog --41.145.141.43 (talk) 14:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Objection to Deletion

[edit]

The article as it exists includes the following link: http://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/rich-hickey-geek-of-the-week/ which in my opinion should support a refutation of WP:N concerns. It would have been better if the editor who proposed deletion had reviewed the links already present on the page before proposing deletion. It's true that the article can be edited to provide more information as in-line references, and a simple Google shows much more content about Mr. Hickey that could be linked, and an even greater corpus of WP:N content about his creation, Clojure.

At a minimum, discussion on this page about edits to improve the article would seem to have been appropriate. Jonabbey (talk) 19:12, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As it stands, the article does not appear to me to reflect the "reliable source" support reflected in references that would warrant it surviving an AfD review. The lone Simple-Talk article would not be considered sufficient. First, it does not appear to be an RS. Second, it is just one article; far less than what is required to reflect notability.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of his influential talks

[edit]

Rich Hickey has given a few very influential talks on the fundamentals of programming practice over the last decade or so, would it be a good addition to this article to list them and give a short summary for each? Profpatsch (talk) 19:28, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
