 * Weak Delete or rewrite/expand so that the article contains more than just a dictionary like definition since Wikipedia is not a dictionary. GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 19:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep; the article has been greatly improved, and while not every word in the dictionary is notable, this one apparently is. Is it me or is it about to snow?  GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 01:47, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I can see that this has potential. I'd rather see it expanded than deleted.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I fully agree that the initial frame is weak, and needs expansion. I focussed effort on researching the appropriate references as the last time I started a wiki article it was deleted due to the fact that it had no references before I had time to complete it or insert references. Looks like I did it the wrong way round. I have also invited a number of the subject area exeprts namely Douglas Neal and ithers to expand the article. I am confident that the article can and will expand to something that will do the Wikipedia proud. User:Adrius42 —Preceding comment was added at 20:07, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The article's not great as is, but I'm with Paulmcdonald in seeing the potential. Vickser (talk) 01:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I learned something from it.  Perhaps a better title could be sought, because it is not instantly obvious that the word consumerization refers to the fact that electronic technologies are often adopted by private users before being adopted by businesses.  (And usually, the military adopts them before consumers, but that isn't what militarization chiefly means.) - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
