- Delete. That's a weird one. The lead might be worth merging somewhere, but is unreferenced. The list however seems very trivial, and not useful outside a list of extreme trivia. I copied it (transwikified) to https://microsoft.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_fictional_Microsoft_companies so 'nothing is lost'. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:09, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Why does this list exist? It is a collection of obscure information that no one actually cares about. ― Susmuffin Talk 06:13, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Belongs in the Microsoft wiki (Yes, Virginia, there is one) where its documentation fans hang out, not here. Clarityfiend ( talk) 08:26, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete - Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I admittedly find this page interesting, but exactly what encyclopaedic value does this have? Foxnpichu ( talk) 15:26, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete It is difficult to understand the whys & hows of such an article coming to be. Minor, trivial errata, literally 100% sourced to Microsoft. Not even to "hey look at our fictitious companies!" but rather to MSDN libraries and download links. ValarianB ( talk) 14:32, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per Susmuffin. Lepricavark ( talk) 16:28, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I like this article. But it belongs in the Microsoft wiki where Piotrus copied it to, not here. Vadder ( talk) 16:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete What next "list of filler psuedonyms used in law suits" although that might be more useful than this. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:45, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
