Microsoft product activation debate

 * — (View AfD)

WP is WP:NOT for essays, nor is it a place for WP:OR. This is an unencyclopedic topic that is covered in about 3 different articles. ju66l3r 18:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomintor. Gwernol 18:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Product activation, which has plenty of room to talk about the product activation practices of different companies. Tarinth 22:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Very POV, bordering on an attack page, and per nom. Yuser31415 19:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and move what little useful stuff there is (citations, etc.) into product activation, Criticism of Microsoft Windows and similar articles. I'll do this work myself since it's unlikely this article will survive.  -/- Warren 12:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge to Product activation. As Tarinth said, there's plenty of room there for a merge. Quack 688 07:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a personal essay. J I P  | Talk 10:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - personal rant. MER-C 11:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete if there is any important information that is not found elsewhere, it should be merged with Product activation or Microsoft, but such an article should not exist as it resembles a personal essay. TSO1D 18:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above :: mikm t  18:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Per Tarinth. --Gwern (contribs) 20:19 11 January 2007 (GMT) 20:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
