Hi, Ryan. Thank you for participating in this discussion and for taking time to work on the article. Wikipedia has some suggestions about conflict of interest editing, but I always appreciate when someone is upfront and participates in discussions. Unfortunately, I continue to question if this article should be included in the encyclopedia. --

Hi Jason, thanks for getting back to me. Could you please tell me your primary concern with the article being included in the encyclopedia? I'm obviously biased but I feel my role in the web industry, which is
documented pretty well here, seems to warrant a permanent record in the encyclopedia. There are other signals that might verify this which are the number of
followers I have on Twitter (48,000+) and the number of
Facebook followers I have (10,800+). On a side note, I'm extremely impressed with your contributions to Wikipedia. I've started to edit other pages to see if I can contribute back to the community in the way you have!

Ryan, thanks for your kind words. First of all, I do not think a large number of Twitter or Facebook followers is notable. I could "friend" a bunch of people too, but that does not mean I deserve a Wikipedia article. At this point, I think it might be best to just let other people participate in this discussion. Perhaps they will disagree with me and the article will be kept. --

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Merge and redirect to the Treehouse article. It looks like he's known for his work with Treehouse than anything else. Perhaps in the future, that could change.
