Flash router

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

"Flash Router," as far as I can tell (suggested by the primary external link -- there are not citations -- and seemingly supported by a Google search), is a company/product seemingly put forward here as something more. Assuming good faith, perhaps the better article to set out to create is Router flashing or something if there are sufficient sources. It's possible someone with more technical knowledge could prove me wrong, certainly. Rhododendrites (talk) 15:52, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. I restored the AfD notice on the article, which had been removed by its main editor, and warned the editor not to do that. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:50, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The techradar source appears to be nontrivial, reliable, and in-depth. And the DD-WRT firmware that our article points to appears to be more clearly notable (with its own, more well established, article, and easier to find sources). There is more than one available firmware set (techradar mentions OpenWRT as well as DD-WRT) so a redirect is probably not appropriate. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:58, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, as redundant. This topic already covered on List of wireless router firmware projects, and Linksys WRT54G series. Dawnseeker2000   19:00, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete seems like a promotion of the web site http://www.flashrouters.com/ since others do not use this term. Also not really encyclopedic since it has major issues like misspells Wi-Fi and generally uses idioms like "out of the box". As above, the topic can be covered better in Wikipedia, but generally we try to improve existing articles on the topic instead of inventing a neologism, especially if a commercial web site uses that name.

 * Delete -- It tries to too hard to explain and justify the use of the term, flash router, only to become a coatrack a few sentences later. The term appears to be non-notable at this time.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 00:00, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
