Article is an orphan, and contains no context or mention of why an SGML name is notable or what it's used for; has no context other than the name's syntax. Quinxorin (talk) 06:50, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to SGML—A name is a thing in SGML, but I can't imagine why we'd want a separate article on it. I suppose we would if names were things that people wrote articles about, etc, and had significant coverage on their own. I don't know of such coverage. We already have SGML, where names are discussed. HaugenErik (talk) 21:25, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to SGML: As HaugenErik says, this is not a concept of its own; it is meaningless outside the context of SGML. -- BenTels (talk) 16:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect I'm hesitant to even think a redirect is necessary in this case considering the nature of the topic even. A merge might be suitable. The content would need to be merged to warrant a redirect. Mkdw^talk 02:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to SGML#Syntax. -—Kvng 04:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
