- UDP Torrent Protocol (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Breaks the policy of WP:CRYSTAL. It features the product of an upcoming product. Gopal81ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:42, 23 Decemb not {{er 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect to μTorrent; if I understand rightly, this describes the way that μTorrent (clearly a notable product) works, so it seems that UDP T P is somewhat reasonable as a target. Nyttend (talk) 14:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The article is not about a product; its about a technology (protocol) that already exists. Mentioning that uTorrent is planning to incorporate it in their product is not a violation of Crystal, as long as its verifiable.--Unpopular Opinion (talk) 14:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as nn technical minutia or Merge to BitTorrent (protocol), where it could live happily next to all the other details about the various ways BitTorrent works. gnfnrf (talk) 00:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz talk 00:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It's about a technology, not a product. The technology is notable, and the article simply mentions how it will be used in uTorrent in the next version. 2DC 00:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep or Redirect and Merge into BitTorrent (protocol) - I am joining the chorus, but it needs to happen: this is not WP:CRYSTAL as the protocol exists. Also, not about product. Please pay more attention before jumping the gun. However, this might not be enough info for a single article, so a redirect and merge might be a solution. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 00:45, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This technology soon to be in use, and will grow to be much more so in the near future. Certainly notable and certainly not WP:CRYSTAL. Cheers, Jake WartenbergTalk 07:08, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or possibly merge with User Datagram Protocol or BitTorrent (protocol). LinguistAtLarge 10:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or maybe merge with BitTorrent (protocol). It's a cool new technology, I don't really care about the BitTorrent company angle, I want to know about, how does it work etc. Sbwoodside (talk) 23:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
