Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prepared singleton pattern

Procedural nomination, completion of user Wikidrone's incomplete nomination. Wikidrone gave the following reasoning: "This does no differ significantly from normal singleton". Abstain. Tobias Bergemann 13:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. Only use of this phrase I see for this meaning is in the book used as a reference, and mirrors of wikipedia. The same name is used for a different meaning in the context of informix. I disagree with the nominator that this is no different from the "normal" singleton pattern, as the usual way of implementing singleton is using on-demand instantiation, which can be a problem in real-time programming, hence this solution to the problem. I don't think it's particularly important, though, because it just says "to avoid the problems with on-demand instantiation, don't use on-demand instantiation." Well, duh. If we want to keep this, we need to show that the term is in widespread use. JulesH 14:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is minor implementation detail (like for example destruction or resurrection policy for a singleton). The term is not used IRL. Pavel Vozenilek 16:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
