Notability of Newt (band)
A tag has been placed on Newt (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Napsterbater (talk) 04:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Well. Thanks for visiting this page. I don't expect a lot of hits here, but what ever.

But since you are here, I will let you know that the name firefox2501 pre-dates the Mozilla Firefox browser by about 10 years. Although I use Mozilla Firefox almost exclusively, the shared name is a coincidence.

The name is actually an amalgam of several technology related movies. The first is a Clint Eastwood movie released in 1982. Firefox is not my favorite movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it did feature a weapons console that was controlled by the pilot's thoughts. A man/machine interface where the humanity of the pilot is so obvious the he sometimes has difficulty controlling the aircraft.

The second part of the name comes from the movie Ghost in the Shell. The numbers 2501 are used throughout the movie, which also features a man/machine interface. However at this end of the spectrum, the interface is so transparent that the lead character questions her humanity.

Hence, firefox2501. Two ends of the man/machine interface spectrum.

And you thought it was just catchy!
