Cray → Cray Inc.

– No clear primary topic especially in term of long-term significance. The supercomputer manufacturer has 5,920 views but the football club has 2,248 and although it might not be called "Cray" much there isn't a place or similar (like Liverpool) so that DABCONCEPT would have applied since it has nothing to do with the supercomputer manufacturer. Crayfish has 27,621 views and though that's likely a PTM as well (and more so) Google does return a dictionary result as the 1st result saying it means "a crayfish". Robert Cray has 5,075 and Seymour Cray has 2,948[[1]] but the people are also PTMs. Images only appears to show the supercomputer manufacturer but Books seems to be split between people with the surname and the upercomputer manufacturer. The supercomputer manufacturer is named after Seymour Cray but the surname origin is unclear. Per WP:NCCORP since the abbreviated form appear to be preferred by the company given its used in the WP article's infobox and at the start of the article this title can be used though its website doesn't appear to use this so maybe Cray (company) should be used.

Oppose: Cray is an extremely significant name in the history of computers -- basically the "Ford" of that industry. Various groundbreaking incarnations of "Cray" as a computer company have existed since the 1970s, and I don't see a near contender for primary topic.--NapoliRoma (talk) 20:16, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 06:40, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support based on NGRAMS[2] although there is a big spike concerning the computer manufacturer, it doesn't seem to carry long-term significance since the term was also heavily used in the nineteenth century, both for people named "Cray", the fish, the river and places named after the river[3] (t · c) buidhe 06:09, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because of the long-term significance of Cray in the history of computing. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Cray (company). No primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:14, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the company does have long term significance and it appears to overshadow all other items that are referred to as just "Cray". Cray has 8,600 views/month, Cray (disambiguation) has 130 views/month, and Cray (surname) only 43, indicating that few readers are looking for something else. – Thjarkur (talk) 12:19, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
