Wireless HDMI

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

Declining speedy deletion since there's an active discussion, taking to AfD because the tagger deserves consideration of their point about copyright infringement. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 21:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I was able to find a couple of RS's, and a few things that point to there being a lot of sources for it. See, , , , and . I'm in a rush, so I was only able to skim most of them. Thanks,  Genius  101 Guestbook  21:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The original CSD tagger, (now indef blocked as a WP:U vio), had the following concern: "Both the text HDMI and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are copyrights of the HDMI Licensing, LLC. The term "Wireless HDMI" is a misuse and an infringement of the HDMI trademark. There is no such thing as a "Wireless HDMI" technology since HDMI Licensing, LLC. never officially released a wireless version of its technology and all current wireless solutions use proprietary 3rd party technologies (i.e. WirelessHD or WHDI) unrelated to the HDMI technology for their wireless links."
 * Sounds to me like his/her issue is with the people developing this technology, not with Wikipedia. I haven't checked verifiability yet, but if this does have RS coverage as Genius101 says, I say keep and let the matter be worked between the company the original tagger claims to represent and the people developing the Wireless HDMI technology. Wikipedia is not a battleground. KuyaBriBri Talk 22:09, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I should note that the first link given by Genius101 above states that Philips (Royal Philips Electronics)&mdash;which is part of the HDMI Licensing LLC consortium &mdash;introduced a wireless HDMI product in 2007. KuyaBriBri Talk 22:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Seem to be sources and the original deletion reason is totally irrelevant. That's not what we mean by WP:COPYRIGHT. DGG (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
