We have three sources from Creative Commons (primary), a paragraph in a CNET news article where he does his job and encourages scientists to use CC licenses, one IHT article about veganism that mentions him for a couple of paragraphs, and a link to his Wikipedia userpage. That is not enough for notability, in my opinion.
Note that on his userpage, he says "I am the subject of Mike Linksvayer, which I would strongly advocate deleting if I were a deletionist (be my guest)" NW (Talk) 20:33, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- You only list the sources currently in the article, which suggests that you didn't search for further sources. You quote Linksvayer's comment about "strongly advocating deleting", but these comments are quite clearly sardonic if you read his blog - I'm noting this so that the closing admin doesn't conclude that this is an argument for deletion from the subject. This said, based on the coverage I can find, I suggest the best course is a selective merge to Creative Commons#Governance - he hasn't been the subject of substantial coverage, but details about him would fit within the article about the organisation for which he is VP.
