Extended dictionary definition created directly to main by a novice editor. The topic is already included in As a service, so there is no rationale for a new stub. Original editor objected to a PROD (with some non-WP comments) on the talk page, so I am converting it to an AfD. Delete unless someone turns this into a real encyclopedic article, which I am dubious about. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:48, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As noted, nothing more than a glorified dictionary definition at the moment and I fail to see a significant amount of unique content that could go there at the moment. If this becomes an actually significant concept that demands its own artilce in the future, we can build an article then. No use keeping a stub as a WP:CRYSTALBALL.

Ldm1954 proposed this article to be deleted and said "There is already an entry in As a service. At most this should be replaced by a redirect and the sources added to that page". But according to that line of thinking, the article Windows 11 should also not exist because there is an entry about it at Microsoft Windows. Same for iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy S8 and many others. Workspace as a Service looks too me like a stub that has the potential to be developed in the future as more companies are starting to provide such a service - just like the other stubs mentioned in the as a service article, like for example Blockchain as a service, Content as a service or Logging as a service.

The problem is that unlike Windows 11, this article does not have sufficient media coverage or exploration. If it becomes more explored in the future, then we can resurrect the article when that happens. However, as it stands, we simply don't see anything worth more than just looking at the title at the moment. Delete per above. (And per WP:OtherStuffExists, the last three articles you linked have very valid arguments for deletion as well.) Aaron Liu (talk) 19:09, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect - I've read all the references and still don't understand how WaaS is not just a minor variation of desktop virtualization. Brandon (talk) 04:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Either to desktop virtualization or a section thereof (preferred) or as a service#Workspace as a Service. No objection to deletion either if closer believes consensus is unclear between that and redirect, though if the issue is with targeting that's really RfD's problem, not ours. As far as I can tell, it's just "VDI but cloud", and that's about as clear of a WP:NOPAGE as we're going to get. Alpha3031 (t • c) 09:29, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with a redirect to either and preferably the latter. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (to any page depending on consensus). It has a lot of room for improvement, so would not suggest delete. Bunnypranav (talk) 16:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
