The result was '''redirect''' to [[cdb]]. I saw nothing I could merge that wasn't already there. [[User:Chick Bowen|Chick Bowen]] 18:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' - Article is not notable, discusses a commonly implemented data structure. Would be better as a section in an article about programming theory or database theory. The largest part of the article is about [[Dan Bernstein]]'s implementation of a CDB, in which case, it may be relevant to discuss CDBs there as well. A seperate article with little information is pointless. As such, this article does not contain enough information to establish notability per [[WP:Notability]]. --[[User:Nenolod|nenolod]] <!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Sigpaw.gif]] --> ([[User_talk:nenolod|talk]]) 07:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

*Note that I created a stub for this subject as [[cdb]], which was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cdb&diff=130110748&oldid=109684402 expanded] significantly by an anon; it may as well be considered part of this nomination. [[User:Jayvdb|John Vandenberg]] 08:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Merge/redirect''' to [[cdb]]. There is really no other notable implementation (no, this isn't a "commonly implemented data structure", either). --[[User:Dhartung|Dhartung]] | [[User talk:Dhartung|Talk]] 10:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
:This is a fair solution. I think this is what should happen. --[[User:Nenolod|nenolod]] ([[User_talk:nenolod|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/nenolod|edits]]) 22:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 
*'''Question/Comment'''. Why does the [[cdb]] article also have an AfD banner that redirects to this AfD? Is [[cdb]] also coming up for deletion? Or was the idea simply to alert users that the little-sister-article was up for deletion? Is the proposal to delete both sisters? Or was it supposed to be a Merger banner? Initially I thought it rather startling that we would propose merging to an article that was also up for AfD. I also wonder which article "name" is more appropriate to be the base title for the Wikipedia - [[cdb]] or [[Constant Data Base]] ... or perhaps [[Constant database]] seeing as [[database]] is (or should be) the real name. [[Data bank]] is sometimes used as an alternative for database, but I seldom or never see "[[data base]]" used in proper authoritative sources. Bottom line: Something needs to be merged, redirected, and/or renamed, but to where? --'''[[User:T-dot|T-dot]]''' ( <sup>[[User talk:T-dot|Talk]]</sup>/<small>''[[Special:Contributions/T-dot|contribs]]''</small> ) 12:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
