important than lots of people who do feature here is one I can't shake. Also, where would people go if they wanted a quick biographical summary about the subject? The OP concedes that he can find *some* coverage. The only question is whether it's enough to say he's notable. I say yes - evidently there is dispute on this point.
264:

disagree with merge - not just a founder of that company but also leed developer of many well known games from vector grafix, microprose, activision, domark like star wars for example. Also as a hardwar fan I remember many interviews etc at that time which must count as not-trivial

I can't find enough coverage for this software developer to put him over the notability threshold despite a pretty long search. Would have tagged for speedy, but since the subject is a
Wikipedian himself thought it better to bring for discussion
249:
But, it doesn't look like he received any significant coverage in the past, either. The best I can find is the quick mention in CRASH issue 64. Are you able to find anything to show that he was a significant figure, back in the day?
234:- Although Ciaran is not currently as active as he was, back in the day he was a significant figure in the industry. I believe that deletion would be another example of Knowledge (XXG)'s unfortunate tendency towards recentism.

Also: The original article at

Slipstream 5000 was the subject of a major article in PC Format, which also focussed on the people in the company including Ciaran.
