Strings (Unix)

This article fails to establish notability an consists solely of original research and how-to information. Any number of references are available describing how to use the command, but very few are available describing the history of the command, the evolution of the software, and so on -- that is, no references are available which would result in an encyclopeidc article. Since none of the material here is referenced, merger is not an option. Mikeblas (talk) 05:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I certainly don't see any unsolvable problems with this article. References could probably be found if someone had requested them (hint, hint), and I don't see any significant original research or how-to material in the article. It's a short stub - there simply isn't room for that in it right now. Zetawoof_(ζ) 05:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The program is reasonably notable, and I could add to it myself. For example, strings is a great way to find passwords or other secret text compiled into a binary program. It's a reasonable stub as-is. Jclemens (talk) 06:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
