Article tagged with multiple issues for 5 years. No real RS and no convincing claim to notability. Probably time for the community to have a look. Agricola44 (talk) 05:53, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Mr Rolsky is well-known in the Perl community, but I was unable to find any in-depth, independent, reliable sources discussing Rolsky himself. The article at present is more of a CV based on primary sources than a wikipedia article. Without RS, this article cannot stand. --Mark viking (talk) 20:08, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
