 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Selective merge to mIRC. In principle, there's something of a case here for notability under WP:CREATIVE, as apparently the sole creator and developer of a widely-used (and undoubtedly notable) computer utility. The problem is that the subject seems to be known for little or nothing else, and sources visible on a Google search give very few personal details about him. Of the current article, some parts are actually more about mIRC than about the subject - otherwise, perhaps half a sentence of basic biographical detail could perhaps be added to mIRC, even if this can only be sourced from primary sources. (I should perhaps finish by remarking that the article has apparently been merged to mIRC twice before - if User:TheCuriousGnome, who reversed this on both occasions, is still around to explain why they weren't happy with merger, I'd like to know).

 * Redirect to mIRC: per the spirit of WP:ONEEVENT. The only thing Khaled Mardam-Bey is known for is mIRC, and pretty much only because his name is on the splash when mIRC opens. &#8213;  Padenton &#124;&#9993;  01:19, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Perhaps one sentence of this can be copied to mIRC. I do not think this is a case for merging - the subject of this article does not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  14:12, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
