[edit] Wiki farm
Original research. The concept of a wiki farm is no different from the concept of a server farm. Guy (Help!) 19:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- 18000 google hits outside Wikipedia, so the term is not made up. In fact a wiki farm is different from a server farm because it is not necessarily running on more than one server. Keep, tag as {{unreferenced}}. --Dhartung | Talk 21:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Google hits show notability, article improvement is possible. Killroy4 08:02, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to server farm. bogdan 11:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per Killroy - Google search confirms WP:NOTABILITY. Anthonycfc [T • C] 21:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as per Dhartung. He makes a point: wiki farms do not always run on one server (it says that in the first line). --JB Adder | Talk 03:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom as the article is currently attempting to retrospectively define a WP:NEO - what we know as a "wiki farm" is an inbred term that is inclusive of any server farm, virtual hosting or SaaS arrangement -- it doesnt warrant its own article just because its about Wiki software. Most of the hits are the term being used on a Wiki or in blog posts. Alternatively, Move to Wiki hosting (which redirects to Comparison of wiki farms and has only two links from user space) and update {{internet hosting}}. If the closing admin doesnt feel the article is ready to land at Wiki hosting, please feel free to move the article to User:Jayvdb/Saved pages/Wiki hosting where a minor rewrite can prepare it. I believe that the topic can grow further if it is not restricted by the notion that the article content needs to only be about "wiki farms", as many contributors will not feel like they sufficiently understand the term to be able to add content.
