This page violates "Wikipedia is not a directory" or WP:NOTDIRECTORY as it appears to have the goal of being an exhaustive list of products containing a feature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffDWallace (talk • contribs) 2009/07/28 00:38:29
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

H.264 is an increasingly common video compression algorithm (codec), that is present on all Blu-Ray DVD players, increasing numbers of personal portable video players, digital video recorders, etc. There is no way this article could be a definitive list of that. -- 06:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC)72.25.88.23 (talk)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. Incomplete, messy list with no explanation of what it is or why it exists. Greg Tyler (t &bull; c) 21:36, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Enough blue-links to not be a WP:NOTDIRECTORY violation.  The list, and the parent article, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, are far from good article material, but this is an obscure specialised topic that should be allowed a decent allowance of eventualism.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
