Licensees of MPEG-2
A long list of companies that have licensed MPEG-2. Unencyclopedic. Delete &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-03 09:28Z 
 * Weak keep - could be used for a discussion of software patents. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 12:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * What is useful in this article for discussion of IP other than the cardinality? Also, this list fails to mention Microsoft, whose issues with licensing Fraunhofer IIS's patent for MP3 are more interesting than the contents of the list.  &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-03 13:20Z 
 * Delete per Quarl. This kind of information is available in other places on the web, where it is also probably maintained and updated better. Kusma (討論) 14:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator.  P r o t o  ||   t y p e   15:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, while a well-defined list and tehrefore not indiscriminate, it's value is limited. Peyna 15:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a random list. Not listcruft, but not encyclopaedic either. Stifle 01:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
