AFLAX
Surely this fails WP:CORP, WP:WEB And is most assuredly WP:SPAM David  Humphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUTTHE THINGS I MESSED UP 04:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 *  Strong keep - It's a recognised term in the development community, albiet one that's a personally I find a bit weird (Flash can call XML via HTTP without any intervening technologies these days). I wasn't aware that anyone had copyrighted the term, something that IMHO lessens it's usefullness considerably (see the Web 2.0 ruckus), but I don;t see that as a cause for deletion.

 * Actually it seems I've been using the term wrongly - it is most usually used to refer to a specific library. However it's one with quite a large user base and an area that gets a lot of discussion.
 * On the negative side the aflax site links to Wikipedia for it's description of the technology... not a usuahe I'm sure should be encouraged. Artw 05:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, I don't see a deletion notice on the actual page? There it is! Artw 05:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Hmmm ... not sure how I missed tagging it, but it isthere now !! The main reason for listing it was WP:SPAM as there are external links to the company website all over it. Maybe, if it is an important article, it can be de-advertised David <span
 * Delete, not a "recognised term" in any sense of the word, just the name of a software library that isn't all that significant in the grander scheme of things. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 14:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. -- Kungfu Adam ( talk ) 17:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I agree with Artw, this is a term used in the AJAX and Flash development community. Perhaps it could be merged into AJAX Computerjoe 's talk 18:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * TBH That might be the same as deleteing it, as links to libraries don;t tend to last long there. Also I beleive prior versions of the AJAX page mentioned AFLAX, and that material hassince been removed. Artw 19:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Software libraries are not generally encylopedic.  Vegaswikian 18:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
