That is 11 articles all about the same thing. How did you decide that Java virtual machine gets 11 articles but Amiga virtual machine must be deleted for having 3 articles? Why don't you merge those 11 articles down into 2? Why were those articles allowed to grow unchecked for years? Why haven't you proposed them for deletion since they are all about the same thing?
::::"Java" refers to a programming language and to a virtual machine (JVM) and its bytecode language. Those should be treated separately, as the JVM can and is used with other high-level programming languages, and the Java programming language doesn't necessarily compile into bytecode executed by a JVM. So some distinctions are appropriate.
::::Some of the articles you cited, however, ''do'' look to me like they would benefit from a merge: for example, I'm not sure it's appropriate to have an article entirely devoted to listing Java keywords, nor am I sure the various editions of Java Platform are best kept as separate articles.
::::"Amiga" refers to a lot of things, as well. Amiga computers, the AmigaOS (and then MorphOS, AROS...), Amiga Anywhere, the M68k architecture, the PPC architecture, emulators, and many other things. And these are roughly all represented on Wikipedia, just search for "amiga site:en.wikipedia.org" on Google.
::::It's ''many more'' than just 11 articles for sure.
::::The way you seem to put it, having to separate "Amiga emulation" and "Amiga virtual machine" articles would be rather like having two separate "Java platform for gaming" and "Java platform for application use" -- a distinction that would be completely arbitrary (since it would only exist on Wikipedia), stemming from two different POVs.
::::And please stop referring to Amiga Anywhere as a reason to keep this article; Anywhere, DE, whatever-they're-called, are completely different things from the "classic" Amiga computers and the emulators/VMs for them. Amiga Anywhere needs its ''own'' article, possibly [[Amiga Anywhere]]. [[User:LjL|LjL]] 19:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
::'''Response''' - why exactly are you turning my words upside down? What I claimed is that '''it was ''not'' the intended goal''', and that the fact that the article implied overwise is POV. The word "goal" does not have to explicitely appear in the article to make it POV'd like I said. For example, the article says
