Probably better to change to a redirect

[edit]

Not sure the slogan itself warrants an article, considering that the article is solely about a dispute regarding the slogan's origin and its corporate use, not its significance as a slogan. I suggest redirecting to John Gage and transferring any material that is not covered there. CentreLeftRight 00:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CentreLeftRight That an article describes "corporate usage" or "a dispute" are valid reasons for having an article if those things are described in reliable, secondary and independent sources, the subject does meet the WP:GNG. The article is about Sun (and its employees), Cloudflare and John Gage. I think the scope is too broad for merging it into the John Gage article. Apart from that, the nice thing of having a separate article is that it is way easier to lookup using Google for example. PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:18, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I like the fact that it is a standalone article, and it only took until 2022 to have one. :) It has been a defining slogan for the rise of networked computing, distributed computing, and today's cloud computing. - Fuzheado | Talk 22:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
