Blatant advertising Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Wanna know my story?}/ _{Share yours with me!} 18:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep its a long way over my head - but it seems to be a theory rather than a product and notable [1] - external links might need checking but I can't see how the article itself is advertising. -Hunting dog (talk) 18:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep ECDSA is one of three algorithms included in NISTs digital signature standard. 85.1.107.231 (talk) 18:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep It cannot be advertising because the subject of the article is neither a company nor a product. The article is about a standard. If a particular item in the article is linkspam, it should just be removed and not brought to AfD. Jim Miller (talk) 19:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep How can theories be "blatant advertising"? As Jim Miller Jr. said, an innapropriate external link or two is not cause for an AfD. Just be bold and remove it. Shapiros10 ^{contact me}_{My work} 21:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong/speedy keep. I don't know if this is a bad faith nomination or just misunderstanding on the part of the nominator, but it's obviously notable, and it isn't spam because that just wouldn't make sense; how can you spam an encryption standard?

• Speedy keep, the term should be familiar to anyone who has studied crypto recently. WillOakland (talk) 08:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
