Black Cat BBS

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

Article prodded because "While it exists and is (or mainly was) in use, I could not find any reliable independent indepth sources about BCBBS. Fails WP:N." Contested without improvements because "predates web". Prod contesting does not require a good reason or any improvements, so here we are. Taking the exact name of the Wikipedia article, we have no Google News hits, one passing mention in Google Books, and 42 distinct Google hits, most of them porn sites, some of them passing 'or commercial) mentions in reliable sources like ZNet or Commodore World (I checked the last one, and it gets a mention in a long list of BBS's, nothing more.) When you change the search terms, you get many, many more results, but the vast majority of these seems utterly unrelated.. So the article makes no claims to notability, and I couldn't find any either. Fram (talk) 07:43, 14 May 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, coming up empty handed after a fairly exhaustive search would seem to indicate that this software was not notable. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:32, 21 May 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete; as above, fails notability criteria. Dialectric (talk) 13:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
