The result was redirect to 1801 series CPU , which appears to be something the nom is also OK with. Star Mississippi 02:00, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't establish notability for this ephemeral computer, neither from a search with the English name nor with the Russian name, so I redirected it to 1801 series CPU where it is mentioned. As this was reverted, AfD it is. Fram (talk) 15:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The computer is not so famious, looks like only 200 devices produced, so currently it's very rare. But, it is also not "ephemeral"; in fact, I have one on my desk right now, and I published two photos of the device on Wikimedia. We have some publications in Russian: article, tech specs. The computer was the last one PDP11-like designed/produced in USSR. Currently we have schematics resotred; we have replicas; we have two working emulators for the machine; we have a bunch of disk images, including ASPect shell, spreadsheet program and some games. Google search by russian name gives 1.3 million results. BTW, Fram, your redirect to 1801 series CPU was just wrong - it is not a CPU, it is a machine based on the CPU, that's why I reverted your edit. -- NZeemin (talk) 15:36, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirecting it to that article doesn't mean that it is an example of it, just that it is based on it and is mentioned there. Fram (talk) 15:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and for Google Search, you need to add double quotes[1]. Without it, it acts as if it are two separate words and returns results like this. Fram (talk) 15:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
