Delete. A difficult list to main that will never reach any sort of completeness. Given that it is being increasing used the list will become very bloated. Also, is it of any use?? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:05, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a fork of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, which is pretty long even without this list. Note that there is also a list of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC products and implementations.MadCow257 (talk) 15:40, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep as the adoption of an obviously notable standard is suitable for inclusion and the main article is getting a bit to big to host it. That said, I think once the standard gains ubiquity the article will be of less utility (as would an article on, say, support for PNG). -- samj _in ^out 07:14, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I usually deal with list bloat and WP:N problems by using categories. I do think some of these things need a bit more explanation though so a list is more appropriate for now. -- samj _in ^out 07:15, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
