Article was proposed for deletion by User:Ironholds, who claimed it's about a Win32 data structure that is no more notable than any other Win32 data structure. I then deleted the article once the proposal for deletion period had expired. The author later contacted me to ask for it to be undeleted. I personally think User:Ironholds is right, that the data structure is hardly specially notable, but the author has a steadfast opinion that the data structure deserves its own article, so I have undeleted the article and nominated it for deletion as advised at WP:DRV. My vote is weak delete. J I P &#124; Talk 10:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm changing my vote to very weak delete (if there is such a thing). I'm still not convinced this particular data structure is notable, but the recent changes to the article have improved it at a lot. J I P  &#124; Talk 19:40, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete- Ironholds was 100% correct. Wikipedia is not a list of technical specifications, or a repository of source code, or a Win32 reference manual. Reyk  YO!  22:12, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant features of really major computer programs are notable. The article is not a "list of technical specifications" nor "source code". There is an overlap between the  detailed information in a reference manual and the summaries in an encyclopedia. This seems the appropriate level of detail.    DGG ( talk ) 15:30, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I'd call this a significant feature as primarily a private, mostly undocumented data structure, however the article has changed radically since the initial listing here --82.7.40.7 (talk) 17:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - There seems to be enough info in RSs to write a good article, since it's pretty good now. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 15:44, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - articles like this make Wikipedia more useful and relevant. I'd like to see it mature before we decide to delete it. - Richard Cavell (talk) 01:58, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
