Does not meet the bar for WP: N. I can't find any reliable source that isn't written by Brian Sawert. I found a student project by Johannes Lieder, some passing mentions, and a couple of sources whose reliability seems questionable at best, but without another source to establish notability, I believe this article should be deleted.

Keep. Subject substantially covered in a 46-page chapter in Sawert's book The Programmer's Guide to SCSI (1998, Addison-Wesley); in a much shorter but still substantial page in Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing PCs (2003, Que); in a 1995 Toronto Star article; in PC Mag and InfoWorld; and more.

I understand Sawert's written about this at length, but generally we need multiple authors to establish independence. I also understand the other sources are reliable, but could you show how these sources provide in-depth coverage, ideally with quotations? Some of these don't look like significant coverage on face. Thanks for your hard work. HyperAccelerated (talk) 19:43, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A few minutes in a simple WP:BEFORE search yielded a number of sources in addition the ones above: The Book of SCSI: A Guide for Adventurers, appendix D ,Data Storage Fundamentals, PC Hardware in a Nutshell, Advanced SCSI Programming Interface by Adaptec. All these in depth sources except the Adaptec reference (which is primary, but authoritative, given they created the standard) are secondary and the book of SCSI in in depth. Along with the press coverage cited above, this demonstrates notability per WP:GNG. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 20:22, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
