Notability issue

[edit]

As this article has been tagged as notability I thought it best to discuss this. The topic itself I believe is notable as it is of cultural importance and was the first computer generated ident used by BBC1. However the bottom line problem comes from this: the topic is of little interest to academic areas and the websites focusing on these areas are generally considered to be unreliable. The BBC themselves don't compete with these websites and produce their own pages on their histories (which would be considered notable) and instead link to these websites. This has caused the problem and I genuinely believe that if the BBC are linking to these sites then they are accurate and reliable. If notability is still an issue then I'm not sure where these articles could be merged into; the History of BBC television idents is inappropriate as it would be too detailed. I suppose the COW and Virtual Globe articles could be merged but it is still a bit unsatisfactory to me. Rafmarham (talk) 16:30, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
