Unknown software company. Winning the Loebner Prize with its only product does not assert notability. Besides that, the article is only a list of the bot's features and there is almost nothing about the company. Only references are the company site, Loebner Prize's site and a more obscure chatterbot competition.

I am also nominating the following related page because it treats the same (unnotable) topic with less depth:

 * Delete both, neither seems to be the subject of any reliable third-party sources whatsoever. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 12:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment You know, ideally I'd like us to have an article on each of the winning chatbots, but maybe we need to have a more detailed discussion of them in the Loebner article or in List of chatterbots. Certainly there's no justification for an article on the bot, the company, and the programmer (going by a redlink). --Dhartung | Talk 13:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete both. The articles have been around for a while and not been sourced. Whilst there is no time limit to an article getting completed, this cuts both ways in that if they never seem to be getting sourced, we have to assume that they are not notable.
