Proposing delete/merge of this, in favor of DreamSpark article. ― Padenton |☎ 04:27, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article is mostly already included in DreamSpark, both refer to essentially the same product/service provided by Microsoft to students. DreamSpark Premium just provides a wider selection of software. In this, having the two articles is sort of akin to having a separate article for Windows 7 and Windows 7 Professional. ― Padenton |☎ 06:03, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge Not exactly duplicate. DreamSpark Premium used to be a completely differently program (MSDNAA) only for educational institutions, later renamed under DreamSpark in 2012 [1]. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 07:13, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge I agree with @Padenton: there was next to no real change to Dreamspark itself, it merely changed what it called itself. No notable changes happened to make it worth separating so I suggest merging. Andrdema (talk) 17:01, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge In case of merge the history section should clearly discuss its origins as MSDN-AA. Last time I checked (over a year ago) there was still quite a difference between the DreamSpark and MSDN-AA portals. —Ruud 13:39, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
