Completely unreferenced fork of grid computing. Essentially an essay hung on a neologism. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete actually not clear what it is talking about beyond the coining of a neologism with no sources cited at all, so clearly needs to go. Maybe even Speedy? Ah, seems it was already requested speedy and then declined for some reason. Nothing really to merge, and for that matter, more like distributed computing or peer-to-peer rather than grid computing since "Apps" seems to imply mobile phone or iPad platforms, while grid was in the server/datacenter world. The user seems to have tried to create it first as Distributed applications which got redirected (as probably it should have). Also tangentially related, I had put up for proposed deletion two purely promotional articles created by this author back in 2008: MG9077 and MG9082. I did try to rescue another one.

Delete. I was the speedy tagger. This is an unsourced spin on grid computing under a different name. If there were any referenced content I'd say merge, but there's just nothing here. - MrOllie (talk) 16:23, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was unable to find any in-depth reliable sources for this topic, or any evidence at all that DAPP has been used as an acronym for "distributed application". With no sources available, this article cannot stand. --Mark viking (talk) 19:41, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
