- keep Expect is very well known in the UNIX world. While the article needs to be rewritten, it is worth keeping. Sortior 23:39, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
- Ads should be deleted on sight to discourage their proliferation. This is verbatim from http://expect.nist.gov/ --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 02:47, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- keep important part of the standard unix toolkit. not an ad, it's freely available software. Wolfman 05:51, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: It's a software review. This "makes this stuff trivial," then a lot more POV reviewing of how cool this is. Wikipedia is not Freshmeat. Geogre 05:55, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete poorly-written advertising. Cdc 06:16, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Mikkalai 06:25, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. I agree with Sortior, although I would add that my son has used it on Windows systems, too. Omitting Expect from Wikipedia would be a bit like omitting the Swiss Army knife, in my opinion. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 12:57, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Article is too light though, and too techy. Standard UNIX tool. Not an adv. Can be obtained free of charge with no registration.
- Keep. I agree with everyone else who points out how notable Expect is. The page could use a heavy-duty rewrite, but we've got articles for things like dd and Perl. --Plutor 16:15, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep and ignore the Microsoft tools. [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 17:07, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
