• Someone else has done an interesting promotion on this page! Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:38, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep: Especially in the new days of GDPR failure to use Managed file transfer (MFT) could result in a charge of gross negligence (OK that's an WP:ORGINAL statement but if I was to be in a situation where MFT is required then its a Yes Sir, No Sir, three bags full Sir from me). Yes its a grummble grumble from me about the state of the article and I think it is currently making a right dog's dinner of describing this. I've tried a little quick fixing and attempted to give it a little love but I'd need a clear head and some digging to do better and I am currently totally defensive. I think this may be sometimes called or related to secure data exchange or secure data transfer. This is also about files/documents, not about emails. Though some products may cover both secure messaging and file transfer from an encyclopedic point of view these are best kept apart.Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2019 (UTC) *Delete: That's what consensus will want.

• Keep: On review I'll strike my earlier commnet. We have a nom. who claims no independent/reliable sources (always a dangerous claim as there can be things online). One reasonably assumes Gartner AGF would be reliable but the nom. has not checked. I also note the nom. has introduced a username with a specific company to this discussion has therefore perhaps used this discussion as a promotion vehicle. Some IP also seems to be wittering on the talk page of this discussion. More practically I added a reference from IBM covering the area in general area. I also note we have a PC mag review which seems pretty independent and reliable but more at the sub enterprise level I suspect but I might try to kludge it on the article; the enterprise level solutions will likely be too big bucks for PC Mag.Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:17, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Another reference to peruse about MFT: [1]. Is the UK government a WP:RS ? Probably ought to be but no doubt can be taken for a ride.... on a Parkie 39 bus? Djm-leighpark (talk) 04:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I get the feeling this is also sometimes being called Secure file transfer although from a purist viewpoint that is possibly a subset of managed file transfer. Please also note Secure file transfer program/protocol mean very specific things and should not be merged with this. Somewhat probably beyond the periphery of this AfD entering Secure file transfer picks up the Secure File Transfer redirect to the disambiguation Secure file transfer protocol ... and this set of disambigs/redirects probably needs a re-jig to allow a disambig from secure file transfer to managed file transfer.Djm-leighpark (talk) 05:10, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The book notes: The book notes that some examples of MFT are: "Globus is a service offered by The Globus Alliance at the University of Chicago. It is aimed at the scientific community and, introduced in November 2010, is one of the earliest examples of an MFT service in the cloud." "Ipswitch’s MOVEit Cloud is an MFT service aimed at enterprise organizations with large-scale data requirements." "Mover is another MFT application designed for use with popular cloud-hosted data storage systems such as Dropbox and SkyDrive, though it also supports transfers via FTP and WebDAV [2]."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow managed file transfer to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
