*'''Note'''. Most of this article was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Shannon_(computer_programmer)&diff=prev&oldid=29958569 autobiographical]. See the old AfD for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FFounder_of_the_Bulletin_Board_System&action=historysubmit&diff=29819258&oldid=29807618 another IP] whose prefix matches this one, and admits to be Shannon. You may also want to read the comment made by [[Jason Scott Sadofsky]] ([[User:jscott]]) in [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Founder_of_the_Bulletin_Board_System|the previous AfD]]. The claim that his is the 1st [[Commodore VIC-20]] BBS is also dubious given that bbsdocumentary.com only lists one such system, and it isn't Shannon's; see [http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/software/COMMODORE/VIC-20]. The [[COMPUTE!'s Gazette]] snippet only mentions [[Commodore 64]] as platform for "Electric Magazine".

*'''Delete''' No reliable sources to verify the claim made by the author of this autobiography. First BBS may be notable, but first for a specific computer would require very good sourcing showing significance. <span style="font-family:Papyrus">[[User:Verbal|<b style="color:#C72">Verbal</b>]] <small>[[User talk:Verbal#top|<span style="color:Gray;">chat</span>]]</small></span> 16:53, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' Being the first to write a BBS system for a particular machine isn't especially notable, particularly since other 6502 BBS systems already existed. [[User:Mangoe|Mangoe]] ([[User talk:Mangoe|talk]]) 19:57, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
