Non-notable file format used by a single web site. No notable google hits outside file listings and this page. Blowdart | ^talk 16:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

The file format is used and supported by 15 different Chinese manufacturers of small GPS units. The same file format is adopted by all 15 manufacturers to allow interchangeable point sharing between different units manufactured by differnet companies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zavvyy (talk • contribs) — Zavvyy (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete per nom. Non notable. Equally the user seems unprepared to consider what Wikipedai deems relevant. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

My intention is to maintain and update the desciption over time, adding in lists of the units that use it etc. But I am not going to type that up all in one hit. I will come back to it and improve it as time goes on. So yes it may migrate into a detailed description similar to .ZIP format but it wont happen immediately.

The format is currently in use on the Guider being handed out at the Olympics in Beijing. You can see the Beijing guider here. http://www.pmr-technology.com/pmr/gpscompass/index.htm

So please leave it alone and give me a chance to finish the edit. Zavvyy (talk) 17:22, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

* Keep - The very fact that its in use as a recognised format by the Beijing Olympics should give it some notability. Also, with it being used by 15 companies, it should be workable into a valid article. You wanna delete .msi while you are at it? That's only used by a single company...

Perhaps you could find a reference to say it's used by those devices? The link above certainly doesn't, and I couldn't find one myself. --Blowdart | ^talk 18:07, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Vote Amended: Deletion Endorsed - I left a message for Zavvyy at their talk page asking for urgent contact to find out where they sourced that information from. The user has not bothered to contact me, so obviously doesn't want to hold on to this very much. Bin it. Scrap it. Chuck it. I can't waste my time dealing with people who won't help themselves when they need to! Sorry for holding up the AFD, Blowdart. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 16:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
