Untitled[edit]
A biographical page for (I think) this same individual was deleted in 2007, noting a lack of verifiable sources on the web. I've been working on several virtual worlds personae, and added the citations I found here, which seemed sufficient (to me) to establish notability as of 2008.
- Cory Ondrejka refers to Ventrella as a leading expert on avatar expression (2005).
- As co-founder, Ventrella played a significant role in shaping the evolution of There, and this work carried on into the academic and industry communities, and also influenced Second Life.
- I've noted a number of third-party, verifiable references on the web to his work in artificial life and also talks/publications in his field.
- I also saw a few aggregated bios, e.g. [1], but it's not clear to me how valid these sources are and I haven't cited them.

He's also an expert on fractals. I've read a lot of stuff on L-system fractals, his book contained a bunch of his own discoveries as well as a compendium of most of the important well known ones. He has a few clearly valid ones that aren't on Wikipedia, even some with known peer review. [2] certainly worth a mention. Some of the fractals need their own pages like Fukuda Gospers Tat (talk) 13:55, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
