Data lock

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

This is a neologism which a quick google search doesn't support. It's a re-expression of a particular form of Vendor lock-in. --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 13:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete & Redirect to Vendor lock-in. Nothing in the article is sourced, so there is nothing to merge. After reviewing both articles, it is indeed the same thing. Turlo Lomon (talk) 14:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete do not redirect, there are other meanings to "data lock", and the article is mostly a dicdef 70.51.10.38 (talk) 07:10, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * comment - What other terms are you referring to? If there are other meanings to Data lock, shouldn't we have a disambiguation page then? The term is used in the context I linked above, and it is a valid search. Turlo Lomon (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
