Hybrid cloud

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While the title "hybrid cloud" is arguably notable, "hybrid cloud file servers" are most certainly not. The article was created solely to promote Egnyte (per original version) and adds nothing over the cloud computing article. As such it should be deleted or redirected to Cloud_computing.

 * Comment Per nomination, I don't dispute the notability of "hybrid cloud" (which is covered in cloud computing) but the subject of the article is effectively "hybrid cloud file servers". -- samj in out 00:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no difference. The cloud computers are always used as file servers.   D r e a m Focus  21:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to Cloud Storage Gateway which means the same thing. The topic itself is notable but we already have an article about it. Marokwitz (talk) 05:24, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Hybrid cloud is not at all the same as Cloud Storage Gateway — if anything we should merge & redirect to the hybrid cloud section of the cloud computing article. -- samj in out 15:42, 12 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:GNG. One source with a single four-line paragraph about the subject is not even close the enough, even from the NIST. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:41, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe Keep, could this artical be expanded? or further referenced, if so keep, if not merge – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 19:38, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
