Contested prod. This is simply a list of articles published in a computer magazine a few years ago. No encyclopaedic value, no indication of notability. andy (talk) 09:27, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, zero evidence of independent (or indeed any) notability. Guy (Help!) 12:59, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This was a series of anonymous articles from Network Computing magazine, which bills itself as "By IT, For IT". Not really a historically or culturally significant series. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please consider retaining this article, it was significant since previous articles on the inner workings of IT were not able to dig into this inside politics, challenges, and real issues of IT departments. The related issues covered in the articles were, and are, very insightful and useful for IT professionals. Sdelahun — Sdelahun (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Merge/Delete: Is there an article of which this could be an appropriate section (I know there's not one on the magazine)? If yes, merge. Otherwise, delete. -- BenTels (talk) 15:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Retain this article. It provides a reality check on what actually happens in IT. npa_stephen 10:22 26 September 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Npa stephen (talk • contribs) — Npa stephen (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Delete as per Smerdis. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 17:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Unsure that I follow the reasons for Deletion. Per the Wikipedia founding principles it doesn't appear that the article must be historically or culturally significant, although this article series was significant as a forum to represent inner workings of IT. Per the founding principles it does not appear that this article needs some earthshattering notability although there are aspects of the content that are certainly notable.
