Vigor passes WP:SOFTWARE as being mentioned in multiple published works. See [1] for evidence. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 05:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Published works? [2] --Rory096 05:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at least it's more notable than bvi. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 05:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Google News only keeps articles for 30 days[3], and Vigor was only newsworthy years ago. That said, one print mag I know of (PC Chip[4]) has had an article specifically about Vigor (issue 57, woulda been early 2000 I think). A few other notes may be relevant to WP:SOFTWARE. The general-interest online mag Salon.com has also had such an article [5]. Vigor was also named Linuxcare's App of the Week (17 May 2000) [6]. Linuxticker had a review [7] and interview [8]. And while I don't know if it ever happened, at one point, Arnold Robbins [9] intended to include a Vigor mention in one of his books. Of course, there's other mentions on other random sites, and I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in at least one book that included a list of vi clones (could have been Robbins's). --Piquan 07:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
