I guess the core of this issue is the statement 'perfectly describes the file format'. From a lay person point of view I'm sure you are correct. From an implementors perspective the article is actually quite sloppy. It serves (and rightly so) to provide a high level overview of what the format is about and at a basic level how it works. From an implementors perspective this is simply inadequate. There are numerous questions/details that the article does not provide information on. The reason for the additional page is to fill in those details.[[User:Brettsutton|Brettsutton]] ([[User talk:Brettsutton|talk]]) 11:47, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per [[WP:NOTMANUAL]]. --[[User:Odie5533|Odie5533]] ([[User talk:Odie5533|talk]]) 17:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' - Article is a reference manual and does not belong in wikipedia. -- [[User:Whpq|Whpq]] ([[User talk:Whpq|talk]]) 17:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Agree with reference manual interpretation. I believe the subtext here is AMF is not freely available, and the intent is to publish a free version of the specification. WP is not the appropriate place to publish such detail. [[User:Glrx|Glrx]] ([[User talk:Glrx|talk]]) 17:26, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
