This [[WP:ESSAY]] is [[WP:ORIGINAL]] research and a [[WP:CONTENTFORK]] of the [[Adobe Flash]] and [[HTML 5]] articles. The subject is of questionable [[WP:NOTABILITY]] and is comparing apples to oranges (HTML+CSS+JS != HTML 5), as evidenced by the lede statement: "HTML5 can sometimes be used as an alternative to Adobe Flash". There are obvious [[WP:NPOV]] issues, no doubt due to [[WP:COI]] of the editors and with even Adobe having given up on Flash (at least on mobile and TV) in favour of HTML 5, it's unlikely anyone would write a "HTML vs Flash" article today. All in all Wikipedia would be better off if this article were deleted as it is not encyclopedic and more appropriate for someone's personal blog. -- <u style="text-decoration:none; font-family: papyrus;">[[User:SamJohnston|samj]] <small
: '''Comment''': This article was previously nominated for deletion under a different name and the result was '''no consensus''': [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/HTML5_vs._Flash]] -- <u style="text-decoration:none; font-family: papyrus;">[[User:SamJohnston|samj]] <small
'''Keep:''' I disagree with the above claim to delete it. I think the statement that websites have started using HTML5 instead of flash is a neutral one, unlike what you claim, simply because it is true (as an example, Youtube that was traditionally all flash, has started to provide HTML5 players for devices that don't support flash). I came to wikipedia searching for a comparision between the two technologies, and have found this article very helpful. It would be a shame to delete it and not have this comparision, especially when in the tech world, people compare the two technologies every day. - Dasarp

*'''Delete'''. We already have [[Adobe Flash]] and [[HTML5]]. What this [[WP:ESSAY]] adds to that is comparison material that is far from being as well-sourced as it should be. -- [[Special:Contributions/202.124.73.250|202.124.73.250]] ([[User talk:202.124.73.250|talk]]) 11:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' <s>'''Merge''' into [[HTML5]] '''Merge''' into [[Adobe Flash]]</s> As a [[:Category:Comparisons|comparison]] of two competing technologies, it rightly belongs in neither main article, otherwise we have duplicates to maintain. The article does indeed need attention but keep as per {{User|Lambian}}'s sourcing in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/HTML5_vs._Flash previous Afd] --[[User:Senra|Senra]] ([[User Talk:Senra|Talk]]) 13:09, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' I'm just a user and found this article useful (good summary, links for further reading). That alone would be reason enough for me to keep it. Of course usability of the Wikipedia is subordinate to its policy which I don't understand, but that leaves my option unaffected.

*'''Keep''', i.e., '''rename/rewrite'''. The 'Flash versus HTML 5 controversy was (and still is) an important phenomenon (in its context) with lasting effects. It as such is worthy of a dedicated article that could cover the history and context of the controversy, and, potentially, discuss the merits of some of the accusations expressed by some parties involved in this controversy. Several of these aspects are covered in the current article, but needs further work. The article is slightly biased in favor of Flash, but the original motivation for deletion, however, is clearly biased in favor of HTML 5. A good article on this controversy should be neutral, as should be any evaluation of it content. --[[User:Wouter vdb|Wouter VdB]] ([[User talk:Wouter vdb|talk]]) 21:08, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Rewrite''' in standard table-driven format as other technical comparisons, such as [[Comparison of word processors]], [[Comparison of text editors]], [[Comparison of Linux distributions]] and [[Comparison of web server software]]. [[User:Stuartyeates|Stuartyeates]] ([[User talk:Stuartyeates|talk]]) 06:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', then '''rewrite''' with a more neutral POV, per Wouter VdB's rationale.--[[User:Cavarrone|Cavarrone]] ([[User talk:Cavarrone|talk]]) 06:49, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', this article is useful for the readers since the references is cited but it should require '''rewrite''' per [[User:Stuartyeates|Stuartyeates]] and [[User:Cavarrone|Cavarrone]] - [[User:WPSamson|WPSamson]] ([[User talk:WPSamson|talk]]) 01:18, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
