Talk:Simon Tatham

Notability
I don't understand the problem about his notability: in particular, I don't understand the reasoning "just because he created some notable software does not mean he's notable". How would this sound: "just because he wrote some notable books does not mean he's notable"? Ludicrous, of course. Here's what BIO says:
 * The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

Now, this cannot be applied to software developers verbatim, because software is not reviewed like films or books are, but I think the general idea is quite clear ("significant or well-known work"). GregorB (talk) 23:44, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Note that NASM at least is the subject of an independent book (Assembly Language Step-by-Step 2nd edition by Jeff Duntemann) as well as numerous articles in a variety of magazines and reliable websites. puTTY is even better known and more widely covered.

There's a topic for PuTTY. In this topic, most of the information is provided by one primary source. The topic for NASM mentions his involvement, but does not appear to provide a source for original-author, etc. (and the NASM website -- a primary source -- disagrees with that, stating that it was written by Tatham and Hall) TEDickey (talk) 00:38, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

I haven't seen a DS port of the puzzle games.
