The result was merge to Gmail. Consensus seems to be that there is no basis for a stand alone article. I think merger is the best solution here. JodyB_talk 14:55, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History of Google Buzz

I'm not convinced we need a separate article for the history of a service that is itself less than 2 weeks old. Google Buzz is not a long article and the history section is definitely not a long section. Creating a separate article just gives us twice as much work to do keeping the history up to date.

Keep (as author) I am convinced. I know this statement is a violation of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but History of Google and History of Gmail are existing articles and it would be good to have a cohesive series of articles. I'd like to foster an article where we can go into more detail about the history and leave a summary at the main article. The actual product is new; it will grow over time. Google Buzz made DYK, and the topic will continue to expand. I am working on an Outline of Google and I believe this is a worthwhile article. It's definitely notable, containing a good, healthy amount of refs. I honestly don't think "Creating a separate article just gives us twice as much work to do keeping the history up to date" is a valid excuse to delete an article. -- ❝iBen❞ 23:00, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as it stands, the article appears to be just copy+pasted from the Google Buzz article itself. --Oscarthecat (talk) 23:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As the nominator said: we don't need history articles for stuff that is barely two weeks old. —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 01:05, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as per nom, the main article is not long enough to justify a split to a "history of" at this point in time. Creation of this probably should have been discussed on Talk:Google Buzz first. - Ahunt (talk) 01:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge back into the Google Buzz article. Not broad enough a topic to warrant a separate article about its history. fetchcomms☛ 01:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Delete. As nominator, no need to create a new article for something with virtually no history at all. Maybe someday, but not now. A History section in Google Buzz is better in this area. It is not because a new service exist that an article needs to be created... so even more so for a "history" article about it. It is simply too empty to have it's own article. --Stroppolo^talk 05:16, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Or you can merge it back into the Buzz article. It's such a new service, multiple pages about it are not warramted until it...well...ages with time.226Trident (talk) 06:20, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Weak Merge. Doesn't look like it deserves an article of it's on. As others have said if google buzz reaches a point where it has a long history it might make sense but not at this time. PaleAqua (talk) 08:49, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back to the main article. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 09:29, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy, and update until article worthy. username 1 (talk) 17:50, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Merge. Ofc need to merge. I dunno why it need to create new article for history of this project. iorlas (talk) 02:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC) — Iorlas (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete Don't we just make these kinds of articles when the main article needs to be split up? eg, when google buzz gets super long, we can pull out the "history" or "privacy" sections into new articles and leave behind a small summary. ErikHaugen (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and merge any useful content to Google Buzz. This "history" spans barely a week. It's not a history, it's news. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 04:47, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Insufficient content to merit a spin-out article. --Cybercobra (talk) 00:44, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
