This page has been listed on VfD, but there was no consensus to delete. It was however deleted, then when it was recreated listed for speedy. I am attempting to restore the best version. Wish me luck. Rich Farmbrough 10:40, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. VfD works by consensus, not votes. If I analyze each of the votes, I see one delete, one weak merge/redir that states "there's probably not a lot of potential for the COTS term itself," one weak keep based on the amout of links to it (which can be fixed and is not a great reason), and one move to wiktionary, essentially a delete, since that had already been done. If we're going by consensus, I see only one vote out of four for keep (but gives an insufficient reason, and even that one says "or merge/redirect") and so the consensus looks like delete. Now why was this so urgent and egregious that you couldn't take it to VfU? --Dmcdevit·t 21:51, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. Deleting COTS? its a very well known term in Software Engineering. I don't know who put the jimmy neutron link there but its relevancy with COTS is open for discussion. This term definately needs to be worked out in more detail. --Eelkefolmer·t 21:13, June 08, 2006 (UTC)
