• As I type this, I'm watching Robin MacNeil's essay on regional dialects, "Do You Speak American?" on PBS. Some people in the US would pronounce "Sparrow" as "Sparror, and I suppose some might spell it that way too. None of this, however, in any way keeps me from voting Delete --RoySmith 01:39, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• In defence of Sparror - this may seem trivial, however the services, including webspace on Sparror, provided by the truly independent artist's run Cube Microplex running open source software on salvaged machines are valuable and unusual in the UK, where most arts institutions are commercial or government funded. A post on the Cube Microplex's weblog, [1], explains the reason for submitting the article - which admittedly is in a sense of fun, but within a wider explanation of the Cube Microplex I believe it is worthy of inclusion and should be Kept. --Mr Hopkinson 21:03, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ok, but the article provides no evidence of notability...?Wyss 00:59, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I will amend the article to hightlight these points . . .--Mr Hopkinson 20:55, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• I call my computer "Mr. Biggles." Hmmmm, maybe I should submit an article on Mr. Biggles -- NOT! Delete. Edeans 03:39, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ok, but this is not an individual's computer, with a 'wacky' name being submitted by that individual - it is an open access art server, with an unusual name that, due to it being used by many new users needs regular explaining - hence (I assume) the decision to suggest placing this information in Wikipedia, and why I believe it qualifies to be Kept.--Mr Hopkinson 20:52, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
