Merge

edit

The from my POV not really notable Dabbler + Sketcher stubs together with this also not obviously notable company stub could be a decent article, all references combined, two sections with products, redirects from the merged stubs. –Be..anyone (talk) 09:56, 7 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

No, this is the wrong company! Fractal Design was founded in Sweden in 2007, and couldn't have published the early-90s Dabbler + Sketcher. The relevant company is the US Fractal Design Corporation, which was acquired by Enliven Marketing Technologies in 1997,[1] then taken over by Digital Generation Inc in 2008.[2] Given that DG has shifted its business focus, a merge there isn't a good idea. So, opposing this merge, as its to the wrong company, and the correct company doesn't have a suitable page. Klbrain (talk) 17:10, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
The route of the relevant merges is complicated; MetaCreations suggest that it was created, in part, from a company called Fractal Design Corporation; although this company was later associated with DG too (according to its history section). So, while MetaCreations might be a possible merge target for Dabbler + Sketcher, that software may have been defunct by the time of the merge. Klbrain (talk) 17:40, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Date Founded

edit

This artice contradicts the 2007 date in the WP article. I haven't found any evidence to back this up though as yet so haven't edited the the WP article to reflect this. Sofaclass (talk) 16:30, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Tried to find out the date, basically stuck as well. But I also feel like some of it reads a bit like a sales pitch. Tried making it a bit more neutral while copy-editing. But still not sure about this article's validity --Ischariot ucl (talk) 07:41, 5 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Products

edit

I have removed individual product lines as they are non-encyclopedic and simply a list of names which do not convey anything to the reader. This is consistent with the Corsair Components page [See the talk page for that article]. Please put this back in if you think this is in error.
