[edit] Identity 2.0

I have never heard of this in any other place. This is nonsense made up by some marketing type person who wants to latch onto the whole 2.0 business Dun4076 19:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - A google search for 'Identity 2.0' returns 340,000 hits. I didn't go through them all, but there does seem to be a lot of activity on various BLOGS discussing this new idea. I absolutely agree that the article needs serious work (especially with citations) but I'm extremely hesitant to delete any article whose subject garners so much attention on the web. -bobby 20:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep conditional on references being found and incorporated into the article that demonstrate verifiability and notability before this AfD closes. Otherwise weak delete due to lack of demonstrated notability. Note also that the first line defines Identity 2.0 as "the anticipated revolution of identity verification" (emphasis mine), and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. — Saxifrage ✎ 01:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - While the term was coined much like "Web 2.0" as a marketing term, it certainly is being used within the identity industry in discussions around technologies such as CardSpace and OpenID. The Identity Workshop has occurred multiple times now with a focus on Identity 2.0. 05:24, 30 October 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.127.146.164 (talk • contribs).
• Strong Keep - a term and concept heavily (and increasingly) used in industry and academia (since when is "I have never heard of this" an acceptable AfD nomination?) --ZimZalaBim (talk) 09:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
