wi-fi array

This is on RFC, but before I clean it up I want to establish whether it actually meets CFI. It's apparently a brand name used by Xirrus, beyond that I have no real opinions one way or the other. Ƿidsiþ 12:41, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. It's a product and the entry is an advert even if it did meet CFI, which it doesn't. SpinningSpark 15:46, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
• Delete. I wonder what sort of thing this could possibly be. Could it be an array set up to distribute wi-fi? I guess we'll never know. bd2412 T 15:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

  How many noun phrases involving polysemous words have a determinate meaning out of context? There are some for which one meaning is so dominant, at least in some usage community, that it squeezes out alternative interpretations in any usage context within that usage community. Can we show that this is one of those instances? DCDuring TALK 19:12, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

  There is still, in my experience, a most common use of "array" with respect to broadcast technologies generally, of which "wi-fi" is merely an obvious example. bd2412 T 20:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. SOP wi-fi + array. --WikiTiki89 21:01, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

  To clarify: The definition given is an ad for a product. The general definition of "an array that distributes wi-fi" is 100% SOP. --WikiTiki89 23:19, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

• The definition reads like an advert, and was probably taken straight from one. Most references I came across indicate it is made by a company called Xirrus. It looks like a delete to me.Donnanz (talk) 22:36, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Sod knows but there's no definition anyway. Just kill it. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Deleted Spam with no actual definition. SemperBlotto (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
