• Delimitation is an important CS concept. This article is a shoddy discussion of delimitation and a blatant advertisement. Delete with prejudice and hot sauce. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:40, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • It's now less shoddy, and not an ad. Why did you think it couldn't be improved? Factitious 10:51, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
• Agree that it's a blatant advertisement. However, now that I have deleted the commercial stuff, I feel that it's a worthwhile stub. Keep. [[User:GeorgeStepanek|GeorgeStepanek\^talk ]] 22:26, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • can we merge it with Delimiter, perhaps? -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:50, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Not sure. There should certainly be links between the two concepts. A delimiter is used in a delimited file, but it has other uses too. I would prefer to see two articles. [[User:GeorgeStepanek|GeorgeStepanek\^talk ]] 22:57, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, no longer a blatant ad. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 00:45, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Comment: Are you guys adding it to your watchlist? The original author seemed to be pretty determined to use us for advertising, and I wouldn't be shocked if he overwrote your rewrites. Geogre 05:13, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Maybe move to delimited computer data. This could even be computer data format. Aside: my back garden is delimited as well. Should I disambuig/complete this "article" ? Gtabary 09:46, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • How about just delimited data? Factitious 10:51, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
• For a split second there I almost thought Geogre was going to vote keep. Well, I did it for him. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 09:51, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Looks fine now. Nice work, GeorgeStepanek. Factitious 10:51, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep and watch then, it's useful. Wyss 11:08, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep in current form. --fvw* 19:51, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)
• Merge the improved version with delimiter. - Andre Engels 12:32, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
