History of Windows Live Messenger[edit]
This article's content is an almost exact copy of that found in MSN Messenger's Version History section. No need for a duplicate page with same content. Luke! 04:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - it's a changelog. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information. MER-C 07:07, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator. — Gary Kirk // talk! 07:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Forks like this support the rationale for merging MSN Messenger to Windows Live Messenger --RoninBKETC 16:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep — Article was created to allow MSN Messenger to redirected to Windows Live Messenger once any relevant content had been merged and to stop Windows Live Messenger from becoming excesively long. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 16:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - per nominator (User:Luckyluke) - the article in question is just a list of events and doesn't present any encyclopedic information (WP:ENC Point 1) --Anthonycfc (Talk to Me) (sandbox) (E-Count) 18:21 17 Oct 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - I think the deletion of this duplicative, and newer (June 2006, vs Jan 2003) article should likely end the discussion/debate about the MSN Messenger article. As Mathew Fenton states above, the Windows Live article would be too long with all this information in it. MSN Messenger has the longer edit history (Jan 2003, as noted above). So given the choice, this article is the "weakest link". Merge to MSN Messenger any non-duplicative material, if necessary, but ultimately - Delete. - jc37 22:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - If the article needs to be recreated later for size reasons, fine, but that case isn't so, yet. (per nominator) —Keakealani 21:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
