[edit] Tech Dictionary
Advertisement/promotional; fails WP:WEB; most of creator's contributions have been external links (mostly to this site); author's changes (in response to prod tag) did not convince me that subject meets WP:WEB (being mentioned on a couple of small websites does not establish notability).

- Keep because a site is not owned by a conglomerate like Webopedia (which is included) should not determine value and if you decide value based on creator contributions Wikipedia becomes elitist. If this site should be deleted so should Webopedia. On the point of only being mentioned on small websites is elitist but when I checked some the small websites that consider it useful enough to mention and link are the US Army, grade schools, high schools, and universities (search google link:sitename). I see this addition as valuable to Wikipedia. But what do I know I'm just a Wikipedia user not a big time contributor. Kkrimmer 19:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:WEB, no sources provided to attest to its notability. Also, it borders on {{db-spam}}, and the "keep" votes above are singularly unconvincing. Sandstein 09:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete tried it to lookup "TTL" - definition was bad. bye. Widefox 02:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
