History of disruptive technology within communications[edit]

The characterization of these (selective) technologies as "disruptive" is not support by the citations, and is WP:OR & WP:POV. (Besides the printing press was pretty disruptive in its day....so was the telephone...so was...) ZimZalaBim ^talk 05:19, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Looks to me like an attack on VoIP to me, looks to be mainly composed of WP:OR. Res 2216 firestar 05:28, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Took some time to think this one through. While the article idea and related topics are certainly interesting, this article simply does not meet Wikipedia's core policy of verifiability, and like the nominator said, it has rather loud overtones of original research and opinion. If sources can be found that specifically state that this technology is a "disruptive technology" and shows the information in the table, no problem. As it is, it's all synthesis.

Note to nominator: Your parenthetical statement about other technologies being disruptive makes no sense in the context of this article - see disruptive technology. It's a perfectly acceptable industry term. Tan | 39 05:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think we can safely say that Internet Protocol is a disruptive technology. Still, not the point - It's too selective an article title. Sourced and attributed as disruptive technologies is different, but that's not this article's title (or presentation). Delete and merge content to disruptive technology? That article has citation issues too, incidentally. - Ddawkins73 (talk) 15:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete sources don't really support the claim of the article that these are disruptive technologies. The article would be better if it covered existing technologies that had been disrupted, but given the current article is future facing, I'm calling for delete.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 01:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
