• Jewell was an important contributor to the development of the personal computer and videogame industry in the early 1980's, which has been documented in books and by the Smithsonian Museum. People doing research on this subject will want to see the information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SkullTronX (talk • contribs) .

As you are the originator of the article (and your username is the same a related article also up for deletion), I'm not sure whether or not to trust that comment. Royboycrashfan 06:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Whee-ew. Let's first recall that, although the number of articles sent to AfD is growing every day, and that we often feel pressured for time, we also should be a bit nice. WP:BITE and all. When we're this cryptic, it can give the wrong impression to newcomers. "Vanity" actually refers to WP:VANITY, that's a good place to start. And while on the face of it this does appear to be advertising and perhaps written by it's subject, if all the claims are verified by reputable sources this might pass the biography inclusion guidelines. So, I'm moving delete now, but am happy to have a message dropped on my talk page notifying me if this is cleaned up and given citations. - brenneman^(t)(c) 06:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Sirius Software. The aforementioned company is notable and has an article on Wikipedia. (Note there is a new company called Sirius Software, unrelated to the now-defunct game company). Jewell doesn't seem to have any independent notability. The SkullTronX page is vanity bordering on spam. --EngineerScotty 06:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Change vote; redirect to Sirius Software per Scotty. Royboycrashfan 07:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Slight merge/Redirect to Sirius Software per EngineerScotty. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-03 12:47Z
