A fictional term from a passage in a book. Nothing notable about this concept or other 3rd party sources. ZimZalaBim ^talk 22:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The history of this page is certainly something else. It originated as a redirect to Nanobot way back in 2004, with the claim that it is a common name for them (which I haven't found much evidence for), before being changed to a completely unsourced article on a type of "offline website", before being changed again to be about this incredibly minor fictional element. Searching for sources turns up a number of hits using the term, but a lot of them seem to be referring to completely different things, and none of them appear to have any coverage to make them notable. Maybe this term could be redirected somewhere appropriate, but I sure can't begin to figure out where that would be. Rorshacma (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to International Data Group#History, I added a sentence-long mention on that page about a product they produced which had this name, and I think a redirect would be fine. I will admit, I was mainly motivated in doing this by a desire to keep that rollercoaster of a page history around. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:38, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to a lack of sources, which cannot meet the WP:GNG. Jontesta (talk) 19:36, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
