Keep. I originally noticed the
DCC Alliance article had disappeared when I went to place a link from the mention of "DCC" on
q:Mark Shuttleworth to the Wikipedia article. I have had no previous involvement with the article; I do believe this article may have a place, along with the
United Linux article (again no involvement). Both articles document (now defunct) alliances and attempts at consolidation with in the Linux industry. The page appears to be linked from 20+ other Wikipedia articles, although most of these are
Debian-related in someway. The article could do with a cleanup (agreed), which I think is more likely if the article should remain long enough for that to happen! —

I've done an initial rewrite of this article, cleaning it up a bit and fixing most of the missing references. I'll try to do some further work later. —

Keep. This is a useful reference. I have no previous involvement but believe it's a useful guide to people trying similar things.--

Keep - per Sladen, Burgundavia above. To rebut JzG/Guy, it might be tricky to find "non-trivial sources"; at this point, google finds little other than some press releases, and a
Mark Shuttleworth's comments that he thought DCC would fail. As it happens, I was researching exactly this when I tripped over the AfD. This article contans exactly the info I was looking for.
