Church virus protection

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

provides advice to churches on the use of the internet. OR, wikipedia is not a How To guide. Tagishsimon (talk) 03:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki if an appropriate destination can be found, else Delete. Powers T 03:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a How To. Xdenizen (talk) 03:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agreed, the article is a How To.  Red Act (talk) 03:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This isn't specific to churches in any way, and it isn't even very good advice. (Disk-infecting boot sector viruses have been uncommon since the mid-90s, for instance.) The list of advice is a direct copy of this web site, also. Might be a highly convoluted attempt at promoting the sketchy-looking software advertised there. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 09:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, perhaps speedy delete given that much of the text is a copyright violation. I have removed and flagged that text as such.  Without the text copied from the blog, we're left with a very brief article with no showing of context, minimal content, and no notability. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I was working under the assumption that the author of the blog was the person who contributed the text to Wikipedia, but I suppose we're better safe than sorry. =)  Powers T 21:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, they can always pipe in and say so. Then again, I am unaware of any sectarian divisions in malicious software, so it's a bit hard for me to grasp how church virus protection would differ from more secular kinds. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 06:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - Wikipedia is not a How To Guide, and much of the text before the above noted action was possibly a copyvio. With that removed, we're not only left with unsourced generalizations, but a stub that does not assert notability. --Darkprincealain (talk) 19:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
