Automated Content Access Protocol

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No coverage since 2008 as far as I can see that isn't the project itself talking about itself. Soupy sautoy (talk) 09:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Keep: Unclear how lack of recent coverage is relevant. Mike Linksvayer (talk) 15:56, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: There was coverage at the beginning as it was launched by a notable institution, but it fizzled out. I realise that the notability guidelines say it isn't temporary, but is there room for something looking notable in its inception but turning out not to be?

 * I don't know the general answer to your question. I did just notice a recent update on the ACAP site -- management of it has been turned over to IPTC and ACAP 2.0 planned.Mike Linksvayer (talk) 03:17, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Still no coverage though, and I'd have thought if anyone was watching it at all, that'd be something to report. Soupy sautoy (talk) 10:03, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep This was in the media 1 or 2 years ago. We don't delete biographies of dead people either. —Ruud 14:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep as notable. The necessary standard of notability was met at the time, and this wasn't just somebody's pet idea that existed in the blogosphere only to be instantly forgotten. It was a genuine attempt to adopt a standard for an important sector. The value of keeping these things in Wikipedia even if they are later superseded or fail to thrive is that the topic will be mentioned in some context or another and there is a need for a reliable source where users can find out what it is/was and why it might not have succeeded. --AJHingston (talk) 07:16, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
