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 08:18, 19 June 2025 (Archiving closed XfDs (errors?): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conscium). 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.

Doesn't seem to meet notability. The subject is a software engineer and founder of what looks like a non-notable company. The only source cited is a basic funding announcement, which doesn't establish anything on its own. There is nothing out there that gives in-depth, independent coverage. No sources that meet WP:GNG.

I can't verify that this dataset ever existed, let alone that it meets WP:GNG. No obvious associated academic paper, and I can't find a reference to it at the given external link or another link I found on a random GitHub repository. Suriname0 (talk) 17:35, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. On a pure sourcing basis, IETF and CRC Press are definitely reliable. guninvalid (talk) 18:34, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
IETF is primary. The CRC book is not well cited so I am not sure it should be used to support notability. Caleb Stanford (talk) 17:16, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails the notability guideline for web content. All of the current sources are either primary sources or unreliable sources like blog posts. A quick search for more sourcing didn't turn up anything. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:08, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been keeping an eye on this AfD, but I'd be perfectly alright with a redirect or selective merge to a broader article if there's consensus for it. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 02:56, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. plicit 14:15, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article has several issues. While they could be fixed in isolation, it might be easier to start from scratch:

  • May not meet notability guidelines (tag added in 2018)
  • Orphan
  • Not written as per Wikipedia style (e.g., has external links within the text, references within titles)
  • Has grammar issues
  • Hard to understand
  • May need more references
  • Some of the statements may not be accurate (e.g., "The Listener Pattern is typically known as Observer Pattern. It is a Behavioral Pattern (aka Publish-Subscribe)," --> it is not correct that behavorial pattern is "also known as pub-sub") 7804j (talk) 20:31, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge‎ to Poul-Henning Kamp. I see a consensus to merge this into another article, but differing views as to what that target should be. No prejudice against finding a better target, which can be discussed on the Talk page. According to the views expressed here, Poul-Henning Kamp seems to be the one best supported by the sourcing, and the target least likely to suffer from WP:UNDUE if merged to it.

Fails WP:GNG. Slight merge to open source is possible, but this page should not remain as-is due to a general lack of any notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 19:22, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No sigcov in the article or after a Google search. It doesn't seem like this guy or his blockchain company meet GNG. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:12, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep meets GNG as subject has received substantial coverage specifically in Korean and Chinese language multiple reliable media sources, TV programs, etc. Those newspapers coverage goes well beyond routine business appointments. Also his role as CEO of io.net also adds to the notability. He also worked on top positions for big firms (Disney, Oaktree Capital, Merrill Lynch) and the not all sources were added.--Mozzcircuit (talk) 13:15, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Notability isn't inherited from being CEO of a company or being an executive at other companies. If there are reliable sources like newspapers, it would help to share them here. I couldn't find them by searching and they aren't in the article, so no one here can assess them. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:12, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes GNG thanks to multiple independent reliable sources available and added. The Subject is CEO of a notable tech company with substantial media coverage.--Slarticlos (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Does not meet the GNG. I've gone through all the sources in the article and summarized my results in the table below. Toadspike [Talk] 23:43, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Source assessment table
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
No Obviously promotional tone No
No Interview No
No Written by an "independent contributor publishing via our business blogging program" No
No Seems to be based entirely on a company press release. No
No byline ~ One paragraph on Green, probably not sigcov. ? Unknown
No No information on Green beyond the fact that he was appointed. No
No An opinion piece written by Green himself. No Doesn't contain any info about Green. No
No No Just some quotes from Green, no indep. sigcov. No
No Less than a sentence is about Green. No
No Clearly a recycled press release. No No byline. No
No No sigcov of Green, simply says that he was appointed and includes a quote from him. No
No Doesn't say much beyond that Green was appointed CEO. No
No No Seems to be a wire report based entirely on press releases; strongly promotional tone. No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
@Mozzcircuit, you say "not all sources were added". Do you have further sources beyond what I reviewed above? Toadspike [Talk] 23:57, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
