Controversies regarding the use of ARM or Intel architectures in mobile computers

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

I have no opinion on whether or not this article should be deleted. The article was proposed for deletion by User:Potatoswatter but an unregistered user stated on the talk page that he/she believed the article should remain. Since the user in question didn't appear to be aware that a prod can be removed without debate, I've removed the prod myself and nominated the article for Afd. The original prod reason given by Potatoswatter was: Considering the revision history, this article appears to be the OR of one person, and while some refs are here, the key points are not referenced. The subject matter is unencyclopedic and lacks context, as tagged. In fact there is no controversy: consumers buy for features not "guts" and engineers make an educated decision with every new product. Cynical (talk) 15:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Weve got other templates for OR than AfD.--Kozuch (talk) 20:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your argument. We can use both OR templates and AfD templates at the same time. Tavix (talk) 00:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as unencyclopedic. This article seems more like an essay than an article and I don't see how a few select "controversies" should be given an article If anything, there can be a controversies section on the Intel and the ARM articles, but I really don't see that as a viable option.

 * Acknowledge and thank Cynical. Potatoswatter (talk) 04:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This reads like an essay and was written almost entirely by one user. It doesn't really deserve a separate article, at least not in its current form. Marcan (talk) 22:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; unencyclopedic original research and essay. --MCB (talk) 07:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
