Application streaming

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

An anonymous user requested on the talk page that this article be deleted, and tried to execute this deletion himself. I have no formal opinion. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 18:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Shalom (Me Too) If you work back through the history of edits made on this article then you will see that various companies offering Application Streaming have made an effort to use it to promote their product. I'm 'ignorant' about what it might be but I had a go and then the 'sales people' crept back in again.

I would claim not to know about the etiquette or usage of Wikipedia, you might see that because I am editing your message.

However this article is just an invitation for people to fiddle about(me too). I'd suggest you take all the text out and just leave the scheduled for deletion message.

 * Keep. I heartily agree that this article may need policing to keep it free from spam and marketing style language.  But it seems to be a fairly broad topic that can be written about intelligibly, and without promoting any particular sort of project.  I'd defer to the computer science people if there's someplace to merge or redirect this. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 19:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is important, and is currently being worked on. Suggestions for improvement rather than AfD nomination and an ultimatum on the talk page might be more appropriate.   Socrates2008 (  Talk  )   21:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree, I'm some sort of big kid, sorry about messing. I still feel there should be some stern warning about using the article for company promotion or advertising on the article page itself similar to the AfD notice. If I am going to make suggestions then, rather than writing on the article, would I do that on the talk page? Keith 78.151.109.70 (talk) 06:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, please use the talk page. Suggest too that you register a username (See: Why create an account?)   Socrates2008 (  Talk  )   09:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - there is no doubt that this page, and pages like it may attract spam, but that is not a reason for deletion. Instead, it is a reason for vigilance to remove the spam when it appears -- Whpq (talk) 21:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - nomination is not valid per AFD rules and thus wastes AFD time - any other nominations by this nominator should be examined for removal - David Gerard (talk) 13:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
