Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Computing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by AnomieBOT (talk | contribs) at 00:22, 6 May 2025 (Archiving closed XfDs (errors?): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lim Ding Wen). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Computing. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Computing|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Computing. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Subject does not seem to be notable upon search - no reliable, secondary sources can be found. PROD was proposed & contested in the past for the same reason, so AfD is the only course of action available here. WormEater13 (talkcontribs) 04:08, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - numerous articles and information security listings talk about HackMiami. Some are listed in this article already. Many notable people have talked and participated in this event and has been going on for over a decade.

Delete - This article appears to be promotional in nature, as evidenced by its edit history and previous discussions at Articles for Deletion. A cursory search reveals that the subject, H477r1ck, is actually James Ball, who serves on the board of HackMiami. This raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest, given HackMiami's status as a for-profit organization with a history of using Wikipedia for self-promotional purposes, notably to advertise their conference. Furthermore, the article contains citations that are either unreliable or missing altogether, which compromises its overall reliability and neutrality. In light of these issues, I recommend deletion of this article. LauraQuora (talk) 04:49, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This person seems interesting, but I can't find any reliable sources discussing him in detail. There is a python post nominating him as dev of the week, but all I can find other than that, stuff he authored, and quotes is an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRIAS1_L9UI&list=PLOrwX3hurKypv9eN3gv7eQ8wIsOhSwI0T&index=3). I think he does not meet the general notability guideline, so I'm nominating him. Mrfoogles (talk) 21:01, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That said, I haven't searched in anything other than English (due to inability), so I might be missing something. Mrfoogles (talk) 21:03, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article tagged as unsourced since 2014. While technically the external links and releases are source, I have not been able to find any other sources that might contribute to notability, including while searching for the founders name instead of the generic "Fire". Attempted to PROD, was removed on the grounds that a generic name and pre-internet subject deserves more attention, so taking this here. Rusalkii (talk) 00:24, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexeyevitch Can you provide examples of significant coverage? I have found no WP:SIGCOV about the foundation that meets the requirements of WP:NORG. Anything in depth I've found about the foundation relies of heavily on interviews which does not meet requirements for establishing notability under WP:NORG.

  • Keep: I do not see any WP:BEFORE in the nominating statement. The other voter references JavaScript, which does not seem to be mentioned in the article at all (as far as I can tell it's exclusively talking about Java, a completely different and unrelated language), so I am not sure what they are referring to. jp×g🗯️ 03:42, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    DIIOP seems to have been ubiquitous in its day. I've added several book refs. None go in-depth but collectively there's enough to build an article. Google Scholar (use the link above) indicates a number of journal articles mentioning DIIOP but I did not have access to them. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 04:21, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are two links to the brand's website and two YouTube videos. I couldn't find any other sources through a WP:BEFORE that demonstrate this product's notability. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:44, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I created the page. It was reviewed in PC Pro, Retro Gamer and Crash magazines. It's a proper boxed manufactured product. It served as continued reading from the ZX Spectrum Vega+ article. The mag reviews mention Vega+ (notorious product). Happy if you think it belongs elsewhere but I'm unsure if it's defined as an actual clone (a "copy"), as per merging it to the ZX Spectrum clones page mentioned above. Isn't clone defined as around the same hardware? I am familiar with N-Go and it's a clone of the ZX Spectrum Next machine, for instance. Revolt (talk) 13:26, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please provide references to those sources such that they can be evaluated? The question being evaluated is one of notability.
