Fails WP:WEBCRIT. The protocol was used for a time by notable institutions (not a sign of notabilility--WP:INHERITWEB), but it doesn't appear it rose to the level that third-parties were talking about it. Orville1974 (talk) 03:56, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: ICB is mentioned in several published Internet-related books from the 1990s; for example, look through the results of this Google Books search. I think this qualifies as "third parties were talking about it". It may be old and obscure now, but it did reach a reasonable threshhold of notability. (Full disclosure: I myself use ICB to keep in touch with several longtime friends.) --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 07:42, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Howell/CN for "was used for a time". --moof (talk) 14:14, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
