Fractionally better than original research. Total absence of independent references. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 01:57, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it. The theme of the article is noteworthy, it's just not compliant with Wikipedia standards. I'd suggest get some help from field experts (we have a template for that, but I can't remember right now) to clean this up and add proper references. It could have been the case of deleting it if it was some 90's programming trend, but Cloud Computing is a recent field and it's bound to receive proper attention in the future. ༺ gabrielkfl ༻ (talk) 08:54, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree to keep it! It will receive a great amount of attention and also open a dialog for future discussions. Carl presscott (talk) 09:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC) Carl Presscott 09:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Gabriel to keep this article because of public interest and the emerging cloud technologies. Richard.McGuire88 (talk) 09:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)Richard McGuireRichard.McGuire88 (talk)[reply]
Delete? No. Maintain, evolve, and improve. This is my suggestion. The topic is popular and continues to occupy people's minds, especially in the business and IT worlds. AngelaMartin2008 (talk)Angela MartinAngelaMartin2008 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Article is apparently about making flowchart style diagrams that relate to "cloud computing". Not only original research, but vacuous patter about "new emerging technologies" as well: New emerging technologies and propositions have emerged to widen the scope of cloud computing to enable a standardized life cycle development. The cloud computing modeling paradigm then focuses on three different perspectives: infrastructure as a service modeling (IaaSM), software as a service modeling (SaaSM), and platform as as service modeling (PaaSM). - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:09, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am against deleting it. In fact the article is about new modeling paradigms that have been recently established. I do not see any flowcharts, I see a language syntax and vocabulary that is used to describe reference cloud computing environments.

Comment: I smell some WP:SPA here as well, but there have been significant improvements in terms of sources since the article was put on AfD, so I keep my opinion on it. Cut the authors some slack, they seem to be doing it in good faith.
