Open Source Committee

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Sources have apparently been requested for nearly 3 years (see article talk page). Just seems like some business jargon... a few companies have referred to committees by this name, , but this is hardly non-trivial coverage of what an Open Source Committee actually is, as far as I can tell.

 * Delete - Not a single ref has ever been supplied. I suspect OR. Doc  Tropics  02:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Very possible OR, no references. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  02:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete Even a cursory Google search reveals that it is not OR. I may add examples (referencing them); hopefully I can get the time. But people need to do the basic search (in quotes) before they chime in on an AfD. And, instead of destroying a legitimate article, why don't you try filling it in?

 * Those all seem to be about specific committees called a "Open Source Committee"... I didn't deny there are things called by that name. But a Wikipedia article is more than just a hodgepodge of examples with no context... we'd need sources about the history, functions, business viability etc. of Open Source Committees. I have yet to see any evidence such sources exist. --Rividian (talk) 02:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My bad, you're right. This should technically be changed to reflect real Open Source Committees, which are generally just committees that consult governments or organizations on open source software. But we'll leave that for another time. OptimistBen | talk - contribs 17:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of sourcing (per nom). I do not believe this article benefits Wikipedia, as I'm not convinced the subject it describes actually exists. -FrankTobia (talk) 17:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. 14days (talk) 20:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
