War dialing

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

Unreferenced since creation, and about half the article is about something else (wardriving etc.). Guy (Help!) 21:13, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I'll be back later, but the topic itself is notable and important. Sourcing is out there. Protonk (talk) 22:09, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep - The term is one of the oldest phreaker terms, and extremely notable. The article is crap, but this not a reason for deleting. Very notable, and an encyclopedic article on this topic is needed. I'll try to get to it when it survives. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 22:11, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep - We definitely should have an article on this topic-- although it may not seem it based on the current article, the term is actually very very notable.   Obviously, much room for improvement in the current article. --Alecmconroy (talk) 22:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Extremely notable topic; poorly written, unsourced article.  Linguist At Large  22:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep- Very notable- as for WarXing... Nevard (talk) 04:01, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. The topic is notable (examine any book on computer hacking/security), & Guy's concerns could be more simply handled by excising several paragraphs of clearly tangential material -- & providing references. This is turning into a snowball keep. -- llywrch (talk) 10:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Snow keep. Here's nearly 300 online searchable texts, and these; hundreds for war driving, and these which, IMHO, are fine to keep together as they are bundled concepts in hackerdom. -- Banj e b oi   13:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
