The result was redirect to Computer Output to Laser Disc. The history has been deleted because, as well as being an unnecessary content fork with no new information, it was a blatant copyright violation of its only source. ~ mazca ^talk 19:21, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Redirect/~~merge~~. Please take another look at WP:ATD and WP:BEFORE, particularly at the part that states: "when nominating an article for deletion due to sourcing or notability concerns, make a good-faith attempt to confirm that such sources aren't likely to exist". [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Computer+Output+to+Laser+Disk%22&cf=all 373 results] at Google News, [http://books.google.com/books?q=%22Computer%20Output%20to%20Laser%20Disk%22&cf=all 177 results] on Google Books, [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Computer%20Output%20to%20Laser%20Disk%22&cf=all 144 results] on Google Scholar and a number of immediately seen sources like [http://www.govtech.com/gt/94671 this], [http://www.kmworld.com/Articles/Editorial/Feature/COLD-a-data-warehouse-data-mining-alternative-8951.aspx this] or [http://books.google.com/books?id=SwkoGwAACAAJ this] firmly indicate that the subject meets both WP:N and WP:V. The real problem with the page is that it seems to be an unintentional content fork from Computer Output to Laser Disc, and, according to WP:CFORK, pages with duplicate content must be merged. — Rankiri (talk) 23:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Delete: It looks to be copied from the reference provided in the article, thus it appears to be a copyright violation - Dlrohrer 2003 05:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

:*I still suggest to redirect to Computer Output to Laser Disc as a possible search term. — Rankiri (talk) 16:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Redirect to Computer Output to Laser Disc since it's a content fork. --Cybercobra (talk) 23:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
