Article is a stub, which is written in jargon and which no users seems able to expand to make coherent or informative. The technology is outdated, and no longer (if ever) notable. A Google search returns under 750 results, with at least 15 being a duplicate of the article found on Wikipedia. The technology is no longer commonly used, and deals with the concatenation of ISDN data lines, which have not been economically-feasible for several years. The article cannot be developed, is not notable, and is out of common usage. Voice your opinion in the proper location. Freedomlinux 03:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong delete, as concept is not notable and cannot be developed. Freedomlinux 03:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC) (as nominator)
 * Maintain and organize under IEEE 802.0
 * May we treat this as nomination withdrawn? If so I'll try to start work on the article. -- BPMullins | Talk 05:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * While I do not find the article incredibly useful, as per User:bpmullins, it should be maintained because of its status as an IEEE standard. At the time of nomination I was not aware of this, and now I agree that the article should be moved to IEEE 802.9 and rewritten. So, that is a nomination withdrawn, unless there is a preference to delete and start fresh at the new name. Freedomlinux 04:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Request for guideline - anyone have a guideline on archival IEEE standards or the like? /Blaxthos 05:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Move to IEEE 802.9. Even defunct standards should get historical mention, although there won't be much to say about this one. (Current IEEE 802 standards are available here.) -- BPMullins | Talk 16:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/rewrite per BPMullins ffm  yes? 21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Move to IEEE 802.9 per BPMullins. A question, however: should it be 802.9 or 802.9a?  -- Black Falcon 18:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * IEEE 802.9, I believe. The links under IEEE 802 are to the working groups, not to the standards that the WGs generated. -- BPMullins | Talk 20:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
