The result was merge to Netflix. Consensus is to selectively merge some of the information, not all of it. (non-admin closure) Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:11, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Technical details of Netflix

 * – ( View AfD View log )

What is this article about and how does it meet WP:GNG? We don't have any other article on Wikipedia that opens with Technical details of. This seems like a collection of random "technical WP:TRIVIA" about Netflix. Plausibly some of this might have been split off the main article as excessive detail, per WP:SUMMARY/WP:SPLIT, but if so, it didn't find a proper home. Maybe some of it can be rescued by being merged to some other article or even back to the main Netflix article, but as a stand-alone, this weird subarticle doesn't make much sense (List of excessive details removed from Netflix article that we could not figure out a better name for...). Since the lead of this article states that " Several technical development efforts were required to provide this service.", maybe this could be rewritten into history of Netflix, but at the same time, it's implies more of a prelude... what a mess.

 * Doesnt merit a seperate article. Rathfelder (talk) 08:45, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge I agree that some aspects (like maybe the public API or the Open Connect thing) might be worth keeping, but they could be easily included in the main Netflix article with 4-5 sentences. 80% of the article at hand are not of interest to the encyclopedia in my personal judgement. We don't need a separate article.--LordPeterII (talk) 11:29, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Selective merge to main article. Most of this stuff has no reliable secondary source to attest that it belongs on WP. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 13:42, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested. Right now it's little more than a WP:HOWTO. Bearian (talk) 15:49, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge as above, some of the technologies might be somewhat notable, independent of the business, but there is already chaos engineering for example. W Nowicki (talk) 15:14, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
