[edit] Combo drive petition
Petitions are not in and of themselves notable. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:40, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. An internet "petition" with only 700 "signatures"? -Aranel ("Sarah") 22:49, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

- If an online petition ever accomplished anything, then sure. Until then, delete. tregoweth 00:21, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete nn, yep, they do squat. --Etacar11 01:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. At least the author didn't include an advertising link for the petition. --Madchester 02:50, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

- He did. I removed it. I have been on a search-and-destroy mission for petitiononline.com links lately. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 12:45, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- There are thousands of far more unuseful articles on Wikipedia. Delete them first! Henri Tapani Heinonen 06:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- I just cannot believe this! I am not a vandal, I am not a spammer. Still, you are treating me like one. I do not have any financial profit of my petitions. I am just trying to make some process in technology. I cannot understand why The Uninvited deleted the Combo link in the Blu-ray Disc article! There are many illegal articles and books on the Internet and nobody tries to close them. For example, this Wiki-book http://fi.wikibooks.org/wiki/Hupu_2:Johdanto is very drug positive and it is still on the net! I will not write to the Wikipedia anymore, if I am getting treating like this. Good luck with the vandals! Henri Tapani Heinonen 07:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- Whoa! No one has said you are a vandal, just that this article does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Yes, other, less worthwhile articles have escaped notice -- so far. They will be hunted down: they cannot escape! Seriously, I have a suggestion for a good article: issues raised by the rapid obsolescence of data-storage technologies. The subject was discussed peripherally in a book, and associated PBS documentary, Slow fires, which dealt primarily with the loss of acid-paper books. Such an article can be well-sourced, informative, encyclopedic, and could include your proposal as an example of potential solutions without being either original research or vanity. Meanwhile, I vote to delete this particular article. Robert A West 17:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
