1977 Trinity

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

While the Byte magazine article does refer to the three companies as the 1977 trinity, it's clear that this is simply a rhetorical flourish, and not intended as some sort of proper name. Indeed, there are no other references to these companies by that name outside of this one Byte article, Wikipedia, and its mirrors. In other words, this was an offhand description that isn't, in and of itself, a discrete and notable topic. The article should be deleted and mention of the term, if the editors of that article deem it notable, should be moved into History of computing hardware. Nandesuka (talk) 03:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Just a one-off reference, not sufficient basis for an article. --Dhartung | Talk 22:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
