I can't even get what this is for. Or why it is needed.

[edit] Is this article an Internet guide

Reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information, I don't disagree that more encyclopedic information on the "impact or historical significance" of the GAC would be good, but contend that the article is useful and should be expanded on, not deleted. As an aside, the GAC is a fairly simple concept once you understand the nature of managed code, assemblies, etc, so it will likely never be a huge article.

  • It's insignificant informaion. WP:AFD then. --meatclerk 17:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
What you actually mean is it bears no direct significance to your personal life or work. Anyway, the article fits none of the categories for which there is a general consensus on non-inclusion. Moreover, the GAC is an important part of the .NET Framework, and there's both a category .NET framework and a WikiProject .NET. If your problem with this article is that one article should suffice to cover Microsoft .NET, then do suggest the deletion of all other .NET articles except the main one, too, and the disbanding of the WikiProject.
