PING (software)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced and non-notable product. I was unable to find any online reliable sources through my searches. Fails WP:GNG.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   06:45, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment. If deleted, this should be redirected to Ping as a plausible redirect, since the ping command is often in all caps (e.g. examples here ). Patar knight - chat/contributions 08:48, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello. Though I'm fine with the possibility of redirection, I'm not sure the example you linked is correct. The correct string is "ping server fred", according to that. I think having it in full caps is a stylization thing as all of the other pages I clicked on from there also had a "CAPS TITLE (Description in normal writing)".

 * If it's a stylization that gets use, it's a valid redirect, especially if it's just an alternative capitalization style (see WP:POFR). Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:45, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Unreferenced stub, written like an advertisement. Joefromrandb (talk) 15:34, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see any issue if this is turned into a redirect from alternate capitalization. Joefromrandb (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
