Proprietary technology

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

Redundant description of Proprietary with a twist specifically on "technology". Stub article and I can't even find any really good sources for it as a dictionary definition. Jimmi Hugh (talk) 13:55, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Most of what is worth repeating (along with a deal of uncited material) is at Vendor lock-in, but a redirect would be tendentious. William Avery (talk) 13:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article consists of a one sentence WP:DICTDEF. The concept is covered elsewhere (see William Avery's comment). VG &#x260E; 01:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. I don't think the article is about vendor lock-in, but technologies that are developed by organizations for their own internal use. For example, "Google uses proprietary technology in their data centres to reduce energy consumption". I don't know if it can be expanded beyond a dictionary definition though.
