[edit] Never existed

This article is complete garbage. There never was a .bu TLD, and .mm wasn't assigned until 1997. --Zundark 08:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I've corrected it now. It's a bit strange to have an article on a ccTLD that never existed, but I decided against listing it for deletion as the ISO 3166-1 code BU existed for a few years after the DNS was introduced - so .bu did briefly have the potential of being assigned, and maybe merits an article because of that. --Zundark 14:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It isn't garbage. http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry --SushiGeek 12:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

The article was garbage before I corrected it. And your link is a list of language subtags - what makes you think it has any relevance at all to top-level domains? --Zundark 13:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

By the way, if your link was supposed to show that BU was once an ISO 3166-1 code, then the ISO website is much a better reference: http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/04background-on-iso-3166/iso3166-3.html --Zundark 14:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
