Founding date[edit]

Is it accurate to say SGI was founded in 1999? SGI didn't exist back then. Perhaps Rackable Systems should be merged into here. Rilak (talk) 07:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disregard the above, I didn't realize Rackable Systems redirects here. Rilak (talk) 07:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, tried to make it more clear by putting their name in the infobox too. W Nowicki (talk) 17:59, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal for Deletion[edit]

This article should be deleted and folded into the Silicon Graphics article. The company itself considers it to be the continuation of the company founded by Jim Clark in the 1980's. See http://www.sgi.com/company_info/overview.html The Wikipedia treatment of SGI is contrary to how Wikipedia treats other companies in similar situations. Compare with Honeywell and Allied Signal, or the first and second incarnations of Packard Bell. Both of these examples are treated with a unified article. Why is only SGI different? --Westwind273 (talk) 15:49, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As additional evidence, after HPE acquired SGI, they mainly continued the original SGI product line, not the Rackable line. This is further evidence that what mainly existed all along was the SGI heritage, not Rackable. It is ridiculous to have two separate articles. --Westwind273 (talk) 22:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
