*'''Keep''': I added third-party coverage sources, including one from InfoQ. However, I created this article because someone created a whole chapter about it in the main Android article. I deleted it from this article, because it had nothing to do there, but I thought that it might be worthy of an article in itself (there are a lot of references on this project, mainly by it's old name, on the web).

** This is a really small article. I'd argue its content ''should'' be a section within the main Android article. Am I missing something? &mdash; <small>[[User:Timneu22|Timneu22]]<span style="font-weight:bold;">&nbsp;·</span>&#32; [[User talk:Timneu22|talk]]</small> 14:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
*<small class="delsort-notice">'''Note''': This debate has been included in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Software|list of Software-related deletion discussions]]. <!--Template:Deletion sorting--></small> <small>-- [[User:Jclemens-public|Jclemens-public]] ([[User talk:Jclemens-public|talk]]) 15:20, 12 November 2010 (UTC)</small>
*'''Strong Keep''' Eminently notable runtime interface for a device where 10's of thousands of Android developers will no doubt be using. [[User:scope_creep|scope_creep]] ([[User talk:scope_creep|talk]]) 00:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC). Well worth an article.
** Why isn't it just a section of [[Android (operating system)]]? &mdash; <small>[[User:Timneu22|Timneu22]]<span style="font-weight:bold;">&nbsp;·</span>&#32; [[User talk:Timneu22|talk]]</small> 00:49, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
** Operating systems are large and complex entities. The most complex construct that man has ever built. It would take 10's of thousands of WP articles to describe Android in sufficient detail for the lay person to understand how it works. Therefore a seperate article for this interface is ideal. [[User:scope_creep|scope_creep]] ([[User talk:scope_creep|talk]]) 02:23, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
** Scripting Layer for Android is not part of the core Android OS. So I don't think it's would be good to put it back in the main article. It only clutters the already very large Android article there. [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] ([[User talk:Hervegirod|talk]]) 14:08, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
* '''Keep''' per scope_creep's good explanation of the size and significance issues. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 01:44, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
