Rubbish. If you take that line, delete every article with a one-word title. Are the deletionists now so short of targets that they're producing this sort of utterly spurious AfD ? Andy Dingley (talk) 15:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to disambig Although "namespace" is a big concept within comp sci, I can't think how to produce a single readable article that spans the whole topic. It would be much simpler to make this a disambig and to have two sub-articles for XML namespace and Namespace (programming languages) (Much of the content for that is already in this article). We already have a high-level concept explanation at Namespace (computer science). Andy Dingley (talk) 15:16, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly notable, any problems the article has can be fixed by editing. The article is encyclopedic, and does not fall under WP:NOTDIC. Quasi human | Talk 21:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Here's a link from Google Patents that further qualifies notability: Integration of physical and virtual namespace. Northamerica1000 (talk) 01:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep poor handling of notable topic not a candidate for deletion. And what Dingley said about spurious AfDs. --Kvng (talk) 21:56, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Namespace (computer science), which encompasses the content of this article. --Lambiam 14:15, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge examples and references to Namespace (computer science), which is same topic. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge - it's notable but a dab may not be needed. Not deletable, not really for AfD. Bearian (talk) 21:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
