Doesn't meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG; I don't think it is useful either. This has been in CAT:NN for 5 years; hopefully we can now get it resolved one way or the other. Boleyn (talk) 10:33, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Another nomination that's not useful because it hasn't followed WP:BEFORE. Where's the consideration of alternatives to deletion? Why, for example, wouldn't we just merge this into Ubiquitous computing? Why didn't the nominator try that? I'll tell you why – because there's no button on Twinkle for it. See also AFD is not cleanup. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:43, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

user:Andrew Davidson, please don't assume bad faith, and assume my reasons for my nominations. You aren't correct, but I appreciate your suggestion I explain more why I have not suggested an ATD, as that would indeed be more helpful to those commenting. Placing a merge proposal is every bit as simple as an AfD, and with less chance of the nominator being attacked, so it's certianly something I do utilise. In this case, I don't think it is useful. The UC article is already very lengthy, and this list has only one verified entry, I would be worried I was merging unhelpful and inaccurate information, unnecessarily increasing the length. That's just personally my opinion though, I can see there's arguments for it. Boleyn (talk) 12:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Ubiquitous computing. If the list is expanded significantly it could be split back into a separate article WP:CLN, but I doubt that will happen. // Timothy :: talk 14:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Ubiquitous computing. The short list here would be of due weight in the parent article, and would be better vetted by page watchers of that article. Note that the list was much longer in 2014, before Hipal vetted entries to clean it up. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Love the signature Mark viking // Timothy :: talk 17:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Ubiquitous computing, because that seems like the correct thing to do. Since this isn't notable enough for a separate article, but is still worth mentioning somewhere IMO. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:53, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
