 * Keep. This article would appear to already contain valid book references, and seems to have some claim to actual historical significance as Internet incunabula.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:56, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep article contains multiple independent and reliable sources which clearly reach notability. LotLE × talk
 * That is categorically false. The article has two citations and this article does not "clearly reach notability" by a mile.  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 08:38, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, several references seems notable Jeepday (talk) 23:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? I only see two references cited in this article, both of which refer to a fork of Infobot ("blootbot") and neither of which really meet the definition of non-trivial.  Oh, and the second reference is just a sourceforge link, so its not really a third party reference at all.   I have to ask, what are you talking about?

 * References do not have to be inline per WP:CITE. You forgot to mention the two books given in the article. The inline refs are only for the blootbot fork. The rest of the article is supported by:

 * Keep, part of IRC culture that lives on to this day. purl is on practically every channel on irc.perl.org with more than three people and has been an institution for years (though she's now a flooterbuck, it's nice to document her history). 76.98.130.178 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:15, 29 January 2010 (UTC).
