*******And my point is that if an article is reasonably encyclopedic (which ofcourse is worth a discussion by itself), you should give editors some time to add sources. You cannot force sources onto an article by listing it at AfD. AfD is meant for deletion, not for asking for sources (there are tags for that). This article has been around only since the 6th of october and deserves some time to develop before it is listed here. Such a quick deletion after it was created might be suitable for really bad articles, but not if the main concern is the lack of sources. --[[User:Reinoutr|Cpt.

********Let's take a step back here. The main concern over this article was that someone thought it was spam. It was taken here because of an edit war. This is why the article needs to be sourced, to prove it's not spam. And by the way, thank you for adding the links you found. That was all I was asing for. --<span style="border:3px solid #00f;font-weight:bold;background-color:#c00;">[[User:Roninbk|<span style="color:#fff;">RoninBK</span>]]<sub>[[User talk:Roninbk|<span style="background-color:#00f;color:#fff;">T</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Roninbk|<span style="background-color:#00f;color:#fff;">C</span>]][[User:Roninbk/Esperanza|<span style="background-color:#090;color:#fff;">E</span>]]<span class="plainlinks">[http://tools.wikimedia.de/~essjay/edit_count/Count.php?username={{urlencode:Roninbk}} <span style="background-color:#00f;color:#fff;">#</span>]</span></sub></span> 14:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
*********You are quite right that we got a bit carried away. But the article ended up here because of one editor, who originally tagged it for speedy deletion and who did show quite some bad faith when others not agreed to the speedy [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ODIS&diff=79843267&oldid=79826166] and to the prod [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ODIS&diff=80341139&oldid=80277777].

*'''keep''': It's not an ad.. I am the author of the article and thought it might be nice to have. people are always asking me what ODIS is (I am a 911 police dispatcher) and now I can tell them to look it up on Wikipedia. [[User:Evaunit511|Evaunit511]] 13:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' Seems fairly interesting to me, though it does require a significant rewrite. ie: the article does not explain where this system is used until the very last sentence. Also, is it used exclusively in Oklahoma? There is potential though. [[User:Resolute|Resolute]] 22:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
