Delete everyone here has the same justification, for good reason. -Verdatum (talk) 17:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I realize wikipedia is not a manual. However, as the nominator said, this is a handful of commands out of thousands. Thus it does not fit the description of a manual, nor an indiscriminate list. It is a helpful and useful page, which is why I created it. Perhaps it should be merged with emacs? Fresheneesz (talk) 23:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's indescriminate because it doesn't say which commands should be in this list and which should not. Therefore, with other contributors, this list could become complete; thousands of commands, serving no benefit, as the information is already found on other, more appropriate locations. The external links listed in the emacs article for example, are particularly good...including an emacs wiki :) -Verdatum (talk) 02:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not an encyclopedia article and no potential to become one. --Stormie (talk) 03:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
