The result was Redirect to Layer 8. Revision history is still in place, but I don't see mergeworthy content. Non-admin closure. --Amalthea^Talk 20:30, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Level 8 error

Contested prod. Article is a dictionary definition, with little apparent room for expansion. I'm hard-pressed to see how this is notable. TN‑X-Man 17:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-contested. The article is a documentation of a movement by IT professionals that is intended to be inclusive and expanded upon by those who are close to or within the movement itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultimatescott (talk • contribs) 17:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy delete~~. Patent nonsense. (I think I have seen the term used as a joking reference to human error - see the linked-to image - but that is non-notable and not described in this article.) — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. The correct term is Layer 8 error, not Level 8 error. The term is already covered in the Layer 8 article. --Clubjuggle ^T/C 17:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ultimatescott, I don't think "Non-contested" means what you think it means. By "Contested prod", what Tnxman307 means is that he put up a tag proposing its deletion, and you removed the tag, thereby contesting it, i.e. arguing that the article should not be deleted. When a deletion proposal ("prod") is contested, the standard procedure is to bring the matter to AfD here, which is what Tnxman307 did. If you say the prod is Non-contested, that would mean you're not arguing against it, i.e. that you're okay with the article being deleted. I'm guessing that's probably not what you meant. (See WP:PROD for more information about the deletion proposal process.) --Smeazel (talk) 17:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge & Redirect to Layer 8. Specifically, the referenced portions only. I believe this is a plausible typo, as several texts I own refer to the OSI Model as layers or levels. Turlo Lomon (talk) 19:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy redirect to Layer 8. Thank you Turlo Lomon for reminding me where I had seen the term. But this is patent nonsense - there is nothing to merge. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
