[edit] Release Management

Not encyclopedic 66.216.68.28 17:11, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep While this is a dreadful article, the topic is encyclopedic. Keep and rewrite (and rename to correct capitalisation). By the way, anon's shouldn't be making VFD nominations, I believe, but let's leave this here. DJ Clayworth 17:18, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • "Anyone can make a nomination, anonymous users as well as pseudonymous users." [1] --66.216.68.28 17:39, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I stand corrected. DJ Clayworth 17:41, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki Though only after complete rewrite. --Several Times 13:18, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup. I agree with DJ Clayworth that this is a dreadful article, but worth trying to cleanup. Daedalus-Prime 18:24, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • After the cleanup that has been done so far (thanks Jbminn), I'll agree with Harmil and change my vote to Transwiki to wikibooks. Daedalus-Prime 20:28, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki I'm contacting the author of the original [2] article now and asking him if he intended to release it under the GFDL, and if the submitter was really him. If I get a good answer there, I'll clean up the article, otherwise it needs to be speedied. -Harmil

• Having contacted the author, I am satisfied that this is not a copyvio. However, in reading it more fully in preperation for an NPOVification and cleanup, I realize that this is actually a manual / HOWTO, not an encyclopedic entry. Thus, it makes more sense to simply transwiki this to wikibooks as it's a published article that has some relevance to the evolution of free software development. -Harmil 22:30, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless rewritten into proper article. To keep such drivel makes no sense. Pavel Vozenilek 23:23, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Revision control. Pburka 00:48, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Note: This redirect would not be approrpriate given the incorrect caps. -Harmil 12:03, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep having worked in SE and SQA I am convinced an entry is useful. Merely redirecting to Revision control understates the importance of release management. Looking through job ads you will also see this is a specific role for which people are employed. 85.164.76.75 22:05, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
