Mac Media Center
Delete Neologism. AlistairMcMillan 17:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Front Row. hateless 18:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Change that to Keep/Merge. Mac Media Center seems to have been established as the name for software for the Mac that emulates Windows Media Center. The fact that iTheater and CenterStage both call themselves "mac media center" suggest it is a new generic term for that class of software. I would suggest the page can be merged into Media center, but that's a merge discussion outside of AFD. hateless 18:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes CenterStage and iTheater use the term, does that change the fact that it is a neologism? Don't we have a policy against creating pages about neologisms? AlistairMcMillan 18:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The policy is Avoid Neologisms. How else are you going to explain a new class of software without using a neologism? hateless 18:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * By using something that isn't a neologism, like media center. Note that Windows Media Center is just a redirect. AlistairMcMillan 18:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Then you have something that can be moved or merged, not AFD'd. Besides, the neologism rule is usually used against articles that are about neologisms themselves, see WP:NEO. hateless 18:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You do realise the article is just composed of four sentences and two of them are not even really about "Mac Media Centers". And "Mac Media Center" is a neologism, if you can find a secondary source (while WP:NEO says we need) I'd be very surprised. AlistairMcMillan 18:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge with media center. The more general article is surprisingly brief; it could contain separate lists of media centers for each platform, including Xbox and PlayStation.Jayvdb 06:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
