• Keep. bash is a very widely used piece of software. I think that makes its author sufficiently notable. Pburka 03:07, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep open source software is a historically significant movement in computing, and bash is an important example —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.245.140.148 (talk • contribs) JeremyA 00:22, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Name change. Who's gonna search for the guy's name? Put his software title in there if it is so significant. The article is not about the man's life, it's about the software he wrote.--0001 14:30, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but I oppose aname change. The article IS about the guy. See Larry Wall, Andy Hertzfeld, and Chet Ramey. Bash isn't all he did. Readline is pretty dang significant too.
