Zalman Stern

 * I can't establish whether this person is notable or simply a Wikiquote user. This page and a quote on his user page are User:MadUrban's only contributions. Rmhermen 13:17, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment He seems to be a programmer or computer related person and perhaps identical with this Zalman Stern , but perhaps not the same with this person .  And I can't find he is an eminent person only in such communities or as famous as Linus Tobald or others. And here another problem arises; if those quotes can be attributed to him exactly or not. Then we can mail him and ask if he said those words really ... --Aphaia 09:40, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Stern is from Carnegie Mellon University's Information Technology Center and is published in computer science periodicals. (He probably is the Stern mentioned in Aphaia's Informatik link ([3] above), as it covers the CMU-based Andrew Filesystem.) However, it seems unlikely we'll ever see more than the 2 existing quotes added when the article was created in Nov 2003. I suggest moving those quotes to Computers and then deleting this article. I have also posted a message to MadUrban's Talk page to ask for counter-arguments. (He/she hasn't made any other contributions, but may still be a regular Wikiquote reader.) &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 11:38, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
