[edit] Triad C64

Entirely original research and not verifiable in the least. No reliable sources. Delete per WP:OR and WP:V. Wickethewok 20:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete participants of illegal activities regarding dead systems... how is that notable again? Danny Lilithborne 00:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • C'mon. Notability doesn't go away, so "dead systems" is irrelevent. Things can't "lose" notability, even if no one cares anymore - this isn't Wikinews. WilyD 13:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep; I'd say Triad was a pretty important cracking group in Nordic countries at least (how do I know? eh... um... my... backup copies of some C64 games here happen to be cracked by them, and if that stuff has somehow come to my hands on the pre-Internet era, that's quite an accomplishment. And yes, I have genuine versions of the games now =). However, the verifiability is a bit of a problem here - "underground" stuff tends, by definition, stay pretty obscure and by definition hard to verify... Their demoscene career, however, is probably better documented by outside sources. So even if it's deleted now, I don't mind seeing it again if someone fixes the article to have better sources. Especially on the demoscene stuff. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Hmm - I'm having trouble figuring out how reliable the sourcing is .... WilyD 13:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notability isnt the standard here folks... verifiability... to that extent the information is verifiable, even if its poorly written and needs npoving. Clean it up ... dont delete it.  ALKIVAR™ 14:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep but needs cleanup - My youth between the age of 4 and 8 was largely occupied by Triad cracktros. // Gargaj 17:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. --Myles Long 22:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, famous warez group, and not that it matters but during most of its time on the warez scene, Triad was doing nothing illegal (because of outdated copyright laws). bbx 10:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
