[edit] Sirius Software

Not notable, possible vanity. Mirror Vax 23:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Encyclopedic article about a software company that produced a lot of material for the Apple II in the 80's. A Google search for "Sirius Software" "Apple II" returns 13,200 hits. —Charles O'Rourke 23:16, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Disclaimer: I'm the author of the article. That being said: how can Sirius Software possibly be considered "vanity?" As for notability, I guess one could debate it, but they had an entire chapter in Steven Levy's book Hackers devoted to them, as is indicated in the article. MirrorVax, could you indicate your criteria for notability here? I want to make sure I understand the objections. Nandesuka 23:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. Just because they were active in the 1980s and shut down over 20 years ago doesn't mean they can't be included here. I'd say they're just as notable as Electronic Arts, id Software, or any other video game company. --Idont Havaname 00:52, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy keep. Not notable? How soon they forget. Notable for historical reasons if nothing else. 23skidoo 05:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. sigh. Trollderella 06:57, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep 1980s software companies for major systems which get mentions in book are notable. (Although I'd like to see: Sirius was noted for its dramatically quick rise to prominence and its equally quick collapse. changed to something less dramatic). - Mgm|^(talk) 08:31, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
