Service availability

Article defines phrase in way used only by a single trade organisation, the Service Availability Forum, that does not agree with standard usage. Xnn (talk) 21:37, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree with the nom. It's possible we could have an article on service availability as the phrase is normally used but it would still need to be vetted as a notable topic; Wikipedia is not a WP:DICTIONARY. But this is not even that. Further, this article's hijacking the term for proprietary use pretty much guarantees that all the sources would have to be WP:PRIMARY.

Merge Why wouldn't this article be merged into "High-Availability"? The subject is simply a questionably-standard term used for an extreme extension of high availability. The concept may deserve coverage, but only as a subset of high availability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celtechm (talk • contribs) 04:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Service Availability Forum. Material already included there. No evidence of independent notability. --Kvng (talk) 12:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
