[edit] Innovative communications alliance

Innovative communications alliance (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

What notability does an agreement between two companies have? It is just an interoperability agreement; thousands of such agreements are there in place. In fact, similar agreements exist between MS and other companies like Cisco et al, and I'm sure even Nortel would have. What has the partnership resulted in? Till now, just an outline of how the interoperability will proceed. Thats suitable for a press release, not an encyclopedia article. soum ^talk 10:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Reads like a press release, but more importantly there's no clear claim for notability. Alberon (talk) 11:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to a small mention in the articles of Microsoft and Nortel. Redirect could go to either, with a note on the talk page of the other for GFDL purposes. Xoloz (talk) 14:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Nortel and Microsoft are working together to create solutions that join together hardware and software solutions to integrate today's voice, video and date communications systems. I defy you to tell me what you learned from reading this sentence without quoting its words. Please make my "solution" with ethanol, thanks. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
