Looks like a text dump from somewhere. The same or similar article has been deleted from ISO/TC 37 after WP:PROD (making this a contested proposed deletion). Delete. - Mike Rosoft 08:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Speedy Delete per Kevin_b_er Probable copyvio. It is a word-for-word dump of this ISO document. --DaveG12345 09:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Incidentally, the sister article Infoterm is similarly a word-for-word dump of the company's promotional PDF available for download here. Infoterm has been a candidate for deletion before, but I don't know how to find the log (am just going to have a look), nor do I know exact WP policy on unadulterated text dumps of promo material like this. So, FWIW, I'll leave it here for now. --DaveG12345 09:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment OK, the AfD-tag "Advertisement, possibly a text dump from somewhere" was added to Infoterm by the nom of this current nom, Mike Rosoft, on May 27 2006 and was manually removed by a user the day after. So I guess this one's "contested" too. I'm not sure how to do these AfDs, so if anyone wants to help out, that would be great. It's a fact that Infoterm is a straight text dump (linkage to original above), with some minor recent edits (e.g. to remove the telltale "Mission Statement" header, etc.) --DaveG12345 09:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete both, copyvio. --Coredesat 11:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete Under speedy delete A8. No question as to just being a plain old text dump. Note that the history section is also copyvio. PDF version of the material Kevin_b_er 00:10, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
