ALFA (XACML)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Apparently non-notable. The article as it stands does not come near to demonstrating notability – all sources are apparently closely connected to the author(s) of the project. In-depth coverage in independent sources is entirely absent. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:34, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ALFA is another representation of XACML which is already included in Wikipedia (just like SAML and other OASIS standards). ALFA is part of the OASIS family of standards. Its formal definition can be found here. David.brossard (talk) 18:17, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So it would seem. I'd have no objection to a redirect to XACML. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:39, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ALFA in itself is large enough to warrant its own page, its own explanations. I get requests for information on ALFA, ABAC, and XACML all the time including from academia (there are several papers that reference ALFA) so I would rather keep it a separate page.David.brossard (talk) 10:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
