I don't see the reason for merging ACM SIGGRAPH (the academic organization) with SIGGRAPH (the annual conference put on by ACM SIGGRAPH).

• I agree, and removed the merge tag since the person who left it did not leave an explanation. He is welcome to comment here. — brighterorange (talk) 20:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be "ACM SIGGRAPH" and not "ACM SICGRAPH" in the following? The reference leads to "SIGGRAPH" Ziquemu (talk) 01:59, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Support merge although I prefer to AfD this - especially after all the grief caused by obnoxious editor(s) on the SIGGRAPH talk page. The first set of references appear to be home made graphs on a computer. These are not acceptable sources. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 11:41, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
