Geocode

No evidence given of WP:GNG (or any references at all) after 5 years for this (allegedly brand-name) product. Closeapple (talk) 04:41, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth noting that before those five years, and in its original form, the article made no mention of brands, trademarks, or patents, and that the hijacking was noticed on the talk page in 2008. Also note that the original author considered geographic coding to be an alternative name, and that the person who noticed the hijacking pointed out that this would be a valid redirect to geocoding — no deletion tool required.

- I noticed that also. My first thought was to just do a redirect, but I figured I'd better bring it to AfD first in case I was overlooking something. --Closeapple (talk) 15:57, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Redirect Can't find any sources to indicate notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:23, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as no refs for the described product. There is an oddity here, as Template:Infobox settlement contains an optional field Geocode and the usage note for the field says "See Geocode." There are settlements in several countries with that field completed but clearly the data are not related to the specific proprietary Geocode covered in the article, unless the product is WP:MADEUP and the inventor just added the numbers.
