[edit] Backup Systems and Recovery and Information Technology Audit - Operations

Not an encyclopedia article, possibly copied from somewhere. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 19:18, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete agreed --Xcali 19:41, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Google doesn't seem to indicate that it's copyvio, but it reads almost like a preface to a job listing. At any rate, certainly delete this; it is not encyclopedic. --Idont Havaname 20:25, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Information Technology Audit - Regulation. This is part of a larger project by a group of (graduate?) students. I'm not sure about the feasiblity of such a project, but rather than delete this, some of which might be valuable information on an encyclopedic topic, it should be cleaned up and probably all merged into a main article. Since it's a class project, the authors should all be dedicated contributors to the articles. Let's see what they can do with it and then judge the final product.

• Keep We are the group in charge of this article, and we have cleaned it up a bit, hopefully to wikipedia's standards. Thanks -Group6 25:35, 5 June 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It is coming along nicely. - DS1953 00:07, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• keep Yo, I'm just a user, but I sought out this page today, looking for general ideas on data backup philosophies and schedules. The article wasn't exactly what I wanted, so it could be improved, but better than nothing.
