Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IPhony (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to iPhone. As a possible misspelling or typo. But that redirect target may be changed editorially, and further discussions should determine whether to merge any of this content anywhere. The only consensus that can be gathered here is that this should not remain a separate article. Sandstein 09:26, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I simply see no better notability and improvement aside from being a 2007 controversy involving Apple and I'm not even sure if this is notable enough to be mentioned elsewhere such as Apple or Apple controversies. My searches found some links but obviously nothing better here and here (this last one seems to be something else as this 2007 iPhony no longer seems to be active hence the outdated tag).

Weak keep & merge somewhere The software is for an obsolete system, which is not a reason for deletion, but was never really notable in its own right, though there were some significant comments such as medialooper [1] & techmeme [2] . It's a minor offshoot of the Apple-Palm patent battle described in engadget [3] and elsewhere; I think it ended with a licensing arrangement--see CNN [4]. The term has also been used in several other meanings, which , as SwisterTwister noted, makes the search quite tedious. DGG ( talk ) 04:09, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this and create a list somewhere At this point it seems almost impossible for this article to be notable, seeing as HP snapped up Palm years ago and nothing has been heard of it or any of the tricks and hacks, however it could be preserved in a list alongside other 3rd party software and hacks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucasstar1 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
