[edit] Universal Image Format

Universal Image Format (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This "standard" is in fact a small part of a draft standard called IPP-Fax, which was abandoned in 2004. In addition, UIF was not in the latest draft (ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/QUALDOCS/wd-ifx10-latest.pdf) of the standard, having been replaced by PDFax and then PDF/is. It appears in only two sets of slides from prceedings of the PWG and does not occur in any of IETFs current proposed or accepted standards and is clearly not notable.

  • Delete: Rejected standard that has never been used in practice. -- intgr #%@! 23:43, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: Referenced disambiguation page. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 23:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and Rework: In light of the standard having been superseded, I think that providing enough verifiable information can be found, the article should be reworked (as suggested) to focus more on the disk image format – while being careful to avoid coming too close to advertising, which was an issue previously. —GrimRevenant 04:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: Is there any evidence of the notability of this format? -- intgr #%@! 06:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
