Talk:Digital line card

Not IP
This article does *not* describe VoIP telephony but rather the more traditional and much older form of digitial telephony using PCM (pulse code modulation) as framed onto a TCM (time compression multiplex) data stream, used in enterprise phone systems such as Nortel Network's Meridian M1. --Jelsova (talk) 13:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate content
The article is based exclusively on one product's implementation of the function of a digital line card. At the very least it needs to set out the generic functionality of any digital line card as the interface between a subscriber's equipment and a digital telephone exchange. The bias towards one particular product gives undue weight to the product which, as noted above, is out of date. If nobody objects I'll delete all the Nortel-specific product description and reduce the article to a generic state -- Timberframe (talk) 11:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Since the line card article encompasses digital implementations and functionality this article serves only as an advertisement and user manual for the Nortel product and I propose it be deleted. -- Timberframe (talk) 11:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Guide to deletion outlines a process which is cumbersome because it is drastic, leaving a reader no place to go and an editor no indication why the article has gone missing. Two simpler steps seem more appropriate to me:

Hi Jim, thanks for your comments. I have no opinion on which method is used; I was thinking of deletion of the present content as a result rather than a method. Replacing it with a redirect is fine by me, just looking for consensus first. -- Timberframe (talk) 16:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Move the content to a new section of the system article.
 * 2) Redirect this article to the generic Line card article. Jim.henderson (talk) 15:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
