I found that both Wikipedia articles on AmigaOne and Samantha will be deleted soon.

Can someone improve/change the page to avoid the deletion?

Is this deletion related to "Intel Inside" campaign or large donation from Intel?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOne

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_PowerPC_Motherboard

@asian

I fail to understand why it should be deleted for "Notability not established". Is "not so famous" hardware not worth being mentioned in Wikipedia?

I hope that something could be done to keep the page up. At least for the "not referenced" bit. How long does the page stays up before being deleted?

Edit: I very much doubt that this does anything to do with any "Intel inside campaign". The reason behind this is that Wiki's moderators think that the A1 is too little known to be worth of mention.

Thanks, this made my day.

@asian

Good old conspiracy theories. Seems a shame it's going to be deleted, i don't really get why though? Is that page of text just too much of a burden on their servers or what?

@dan.hutch

Samantha have an AMD Geode???

I've added some further references. I'm sure one of the tech sites (ARS?) did a review of AmigaOne hardware. If anybody finds it, please can you add it to the article as another reference.

Not sure how to fix the "notability" bit.

Refer to AMD's south bridge companion chip i.e. AMD "Geode 5536".

Odd, but I don't see it as that big of a deal. I breifly read the article on AmigaOne and I would agree that it could use some work. If it's deleted, I'm sure a new and better written article could be submitted. The poster that disputes the validity of AmigaOne sure sounds like a disgruntaled AW.net user.

I would suggest that some one more familiar with AmigaOne history than I edit the page with more generic, cold, non-biased facts instead of descriptions like " MAI Logic Inc, a fabulous Taiwanese-American integrated circuit (IC) company.

If I understand correctly, the main dispute is that AmigaOne is a marketing trademark and not a computer platform. Seems to me it's both, but the article needs cleaning up.

Yes, it has a Geode. I'm really surprised you didn't know that already, given the considerable promotion you give the Samantha project.

When I ask the Wikipedia Editor (Mer-C) why he did not delete the Wikipedia Pegasos entry:

"The notability of that one is established."

What is the meaning of this sentence?

Is this another plot by BBRV/Genesi against Eyetech/Soft3?

Is there any data about Samantha and AmigaOne real power consumption?

>Fabulous

It should be FABLESS IC company:

Honestly, I never know wether I should laugh or cry about this level of naiveity.

@hatschi

Quite - it was flagged for deletion because there had been no proof/references... nothing more... sheeesh.

Hopefully one of the admins will delete the Samantha article and leave the AmigaOne one... Samantha shouldnt really go up until its released.

Not positive, but probably just that there is a confirmed link where one can read about and purchase a Pegasos system. It is established, it exist. The AmigaOne article needs similar links. WIth Eyetech A1 sites gone, some other proof is needed. Maybe links to the Big book of Amiga Hardware would do. Links to AW.net threads describing the A1 would apear to be thin proof if any that A1 exist to any one completly unfamiliar with Amiga.

Proves the point that the page needs clean up before it get the axe.

BTW, I'd be happy to help edit the article if others could help in supplying more detail and info.

MAI really went bankrupt?

Is there any proof to this?
I mean I suspected as much but I have not
found any proof for this so far.

What about the Asian subsidary,is it on the web somewhere?
Or what about Mentor, sounds like MAI was (is) only a small
branch of a much bigger company.
Anyone found a link for this yet?

I would love to get my hands on more technical data
than already has leaked sometime ago.
Layout-data would be very nice.
Or data on the XE.

I already asked Eyetech but did not even receive a negative answer.

@Shadowolf

Mentor IS MAI, MAI = Mentor Arc Incorporated.

Like AMiGR wrote; Mai Logic = Mentor. They are/were part of the Atum Group, which also include(s|d) Inguard Inc. I wouldn't know about "much bigger". All their websites/domains seem to be gone now.

Re:Mai Logic
They were listed in the past on IBM's website of PPC partners.
They are not listed there anymore.
It was mentioned in irc by a former employee that the current line of thinking
was that they had "retreated to China".
Take this for whatever it is worth...
