Flash ios[edit]

Originally tagged as a hoax I discovered that it is in fact not a hoax. However, no assertion of notability per WP:RS and WP:N. In fact the article specifically states that it is widely unknown.... Parts of it is unverifiable though that is only a secondary reason for deletion. MartinDK 17:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - interesting concept, but article lacks references of notability or any references in general. Sadly, unless the project gets tons of users and publicity, these references probably won't ever exist. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 19:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, many such interesting experiments exist, but few of them achieve notability. --Dhartung | Talk 20:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Interesting, but no reliable sources seem to be available to demonstrate notability, and there aren't likely to be while it remains under development (as indicated by the website). EALacey 21:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. I'm the one who tagged it back in April as a possible hoax. I couldn't find any Google listing of Flash IOS related to Adobe Flash Player. The only even possible distantly :::::zrelated similar entries were to "Cisco Flash IOS file management procedures." Nothing related to Adobe Flash Player. Now this website that MartinDK spotted is coming up on my Google search, too. Someone's playing a search-engine game here, I think. --SueHay 22:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This was posted on my talk page by the author of this software:

To clear up some stuff here:

I started writning IOS back in 1997 and was the a dhtml version only javascript framwork.

http://michaelbystrom.com/dynapi-ios-0.2/ios/ (firefox only nowdays)

I ported it to Flash Actionscript 1 back in 2001 then "Webwindows" due to browser restirictions.

The again to AS 2 2004 (I think)

And now I have a version for AS 3 (not public)

This was a pet project of mine I just wanted to see If i could re-create a OS inside a browser window.

No I'm not 14 I'm in my 30+

Comment Special:Contributions/Jakeaston seems to have made an error in adding this article to Wikipedia. Let's delete Flash ios and leave Michaelbystrom to his development work. --SueHay 13:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Agreed. I guess I should have requested speedy deletion instead. I do wonder why he appears out of no where though as soon as the article was nominated for deletion. He wasn't even the creator of the article, he could easily have corrected the factual errors in case he has been keeping an eye on the article. MartinDK 17:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've looked into this some more. For the record, michaelbystrom.com is registered to Michael Bystrom Design in Stockholm, Sweden. The administrative address for this domain is michaelbystrom@gmail.com. Check out this blog entry with this "question" by "Jake". "Jake's" email address is Jake.aston@gmail.com. I'd say Wikipedia is being used to support some creative internet marketing here. --SueHay 21:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hehe, The url referrals for this page don't stop. No no no you have to stop SueHay this is not a conspiracy :-) The Flash IOS article has nothing to do with my Flash IOS. If I wanted to market this app I would not do this belive me. I didn't know about the Flash IOS article until I got a referral from this site asking to delete it. I did not write it and if did I would explain it better and correct. There maybe a movie in here somewhere :-) If you want I can make a real Flash IOS article. Stay warm from sunny Stockholm Sweden :-) Michaelbystrom 06:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wonderful to hear that you don't have anything to do with this. Since you're new to Wikipedia, you might not know that the thing for you to do to protect your credibility is to add a Delete opinion to this discussion. Please take a moment to do that now. --SueHay 12:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
