Desktop On Demand

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

Article about a discontinued Web service/product that is not notable and has no references. Speedy declined because of mis-catagorization so brought to AfD. Pmedema (talk) 01:28, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable (maybe that's why it no longer exists...) --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 23:14, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Could not establish notability according to WP:WEB. (Blancharb: A self-fufilling notability prophecy? lol.)--Finalnight (talk) 06:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Retain? (Where's AfdAnons? Please excuse my Wikiprocess ignorance). I note that there is an article on "web desktops", which doesn't (yet) appear to have mentioned Desktop On Demand, or its demise. Maybe DoD was a web desktop, maybe it wasn't, but the fact was that DoD offered more functionality than many/most "web desktops", but apparently couldn't make a viable business out of it. Does this not make it notable for those interested in why businesses and technologies fail (which many do) as well as why they succeed? See also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTNlLTUXxM4 which presumably can no longer be construed as blatant advertising. "Those who cannot read about the past are condemned to repeat it" (nearly). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.247.139 (talk) 22:22, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
