Lack of reliable, independent sources. This article was nominated for deletion over a year ago and the close stated a lack of consensus. No productive edits have occurred since that time so I am renominating it. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:30, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe delete - This would seem like it could be notable but I'm not finding many sources good aside from here, here and here (and I searched, News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary). Most of the results are self-authored and not much third-party or overall good coverage. SwisterTwister talk 17:55, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep. It is always hard to find independent sources for people who work on the commercial side of computing rather than the academic side. While he is not as well known as Steve McConnell or Steve Maguire (there's an article that needs work), Pugh was a columnist in the 1990s for C User's Journal and C++ Journal. More recently his 2006 book Interface Oriented Design was reviewed in IEEE Micro. His other 2006 book, Prefactoring, won the Jolt award. His 2010 book, Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven-Development, reviewed in SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, is cited in articles on Google Scholar even though it's a practitioners book.
