[edit] SirDoom

1500 google hits but not many of them appear to actually be from this program. Nearly no information gleaned and uses several things very close to WP:Vanity. Was thinking about speedying but couldn't find any criteria this falls under. –– Lid^(Talk) 08:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable, clearly written by the original poster ("Ron Strump, a TCP latency expert and overall programming genius"). Could probably be speedy-deleted as offering no context (CSD A1)Bob talk 08:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

To whom it may concern: I was the one who submitted this and it is a fact that Ron Strumpf is genius. I was a customer of his when running the The Gaming Center BBS. I apologize for the vain remark, but I can not say enough about his skills in regards to latency. He did things over a dialup network in regards to multiplayer gaming, that is only (recently) now being matched.

Be that as it may, SirDoom can be verified by checking with anyone who used the SirDoom software back in the late 90's. This would be any Worldgroup BBS that supported multiplayer doom. It would not be correct to delete this as it is very relative and pertainent to the online gaming community, more specifically, multiplayer Doom, Heretic, Dukenukem and other such innovative first person shooter games. I will try to find more content. Please do not delete. Here is a link I found on the internet to the original Client used by gamers to connect to a BBS and play.—Preceding unsigned comment added by TCdoom (talk • contribs) TCdoom is also the creator of the article in question.

• Delete As non-notable. Only 1200 google hits for "SirDoom"-wikipedia. -Royalguard11(Talk)(Desk) 22:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

SirDoom not "non-notable"? I am not going to say anything other than I disagree quite strongly and I think deletion would be a disservice to the many gamers who served as a catalyst for online gaming as it is today, more specifically, first person shooters like Doom and Dukenukem. Deletion is not the appropriate response for this post and should be further reviewed. Thank you for your consideration regardless.—Preceding unsigned comment added by TCdoom (talk • contribs) TCdoom is also the creator of the article in question.
