Seems to be pretty much spam.   jj137 (Talk) 03:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Agree with nom. I think it would be best to delete and start again with one (providing a point-of-sale OS is notable). A^RendedWinter 04:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Would almost say this is a CSD candidate, per notability not generally asserted or established. Avruch^Talk 06:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This reads like an advert Doc Strange (talk) 13:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:NOT#ADVERTISING. Does seem to be advertising - promoting the product. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 17:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. If you read the details, it does not sound like advertising, e.g.: "it's pretty obvious that it is not the most up-to-date on current technologies or software support" or "not extremely advanced". True, there are lots of complimentary statements, but they may well be appropriate. Plus, this really is, I believe, a specialized operating system of some importance. Perhaps some editing will make it more palatable, but don't delete it. Tim Ross·^talk 19:39, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup it needs to be rewritten and have notability established, but an IBM POS system would probably meet notability requirements. 132.205.99.122 (talk) 20:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Comment Fair points. If the article can be rewritten, sourced with reliable sources and the notability can be asserted then I wouldn't object to keeping the article. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 23:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup per 132.205.99.122. I don't see major WP:NOT#ADVERTISING problem, the article seems pretty neturally written. --Brewcrewer (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup There is a lot of good information in there it just needs to be cleaned up. Mikemill (talk) 19:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
