[edit] Applicability Statement 1, Applicability Statement 2 and Applicability Statement 3

Appears to be some technical jargon with no potential to become encyclopedic, also may sevre as an ad for the externally linked site.--nixie 22:26, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• The "externally linked site" is now the non-commercial IETF website, for all three pages. Whilst dry, the material in these articles is potentially very encyclopedia-worthy, as it relates to Web services and EDI. Keep. -- The Anome
  • Perhaps some kind person will put these in some kind of context so they don't look like jargon and merge them into one article--nixie 23:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge or keep. If it's boring, it's probaby encyclopedic. Kappa 23:42, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Kill. The names are horrible, Applicability Statements 2 and 3 are still in the draft stage (that is, unfinished proposals), [1], and for Applicability Statement 1, well, RFC 3335 is something that might be mentioned in EDI in a list of relevant standards -- but the existing article doesn't even describe it clearly, so it's not especially useful as a merge. --iMb~Mw 04:11, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but with reservations. Article needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 05:38, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: The relevant information is now contained in Electronic Data Interchange. These articles are no longer required. --iMb~Mw 06:14, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Thank you, Meowbot. Now we can delete this applic statement. Radiant! 08:39, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
• I agree. Now the useful material is included elsewhere, we should delete these pages. -- The Anome 08:41, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
