Computer cluster in virtual machines

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The topic is on the wrong side of the notability line and is not encyclopedic. The text is confused and useless. I am beginning to clean up the cluster and distributed computing articles, and this type of alphabet soup is just embarrassing for Wikipedia. There are several like this, someone put text there 5 years ago, mostly confused and a liability, not an asset. This junk has to go before the whole series on Computer clustering can be cleaned up.

And unfortunately Wikipedia content is now being used to the detriment of science by irresponsible publications like this which just repackage the alphabet soup in these articles, then add an ISBN and a nice cover. History2007 (talk) 14:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2011 December 20.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  15:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep AFD is not cleanup. If articles about this general topic area are being worked then that's fine but deletion is not required for this.  Merger is more appropriate. Warden (talk) 18:01, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * What is there to merge? It is 99.99% garbage. There is nothing to merge. You merge them. But stop garbage from accumulating in Wikipedia. This is embarrassing. History2007 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Anyway, I removed the illogical parts, and ended up with one paragraph - so I guess it can be merged now. Easier that way. But the title should be "Virtualized computer cluster" to make some sense at least when people search. History2007 (talk) 21:32, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP:NOTTEXTBOOK or, at best, it could be merged into Computer cluster. --Northernhenge (talk) 21:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - No need to use AfD for cleanup. Sure, the result will likely be a merge and the article will turn in to a redirect. Take the path of least resistance please. --Kvng (talk) 23:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Anyway, it is already merged in Computer_cluster as a single paragraph, as I started to clean that up. So let me withdraw the Afd and move on. History2007 (talk) 00:05, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
