Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C++ examples

C++ examples

This page is a list of examples of code in the programming language C++. It seems to be the sort of software guide prohibited by WP:NOT#GUIDE, no pages in article space link to it, and the main C++ page already includes embedded examples of code. As such, I think it should be deleted. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the (ancient) prior VFD discussion at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/C plus plus examples. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Completely unreferenced, and there's so little context the examples are entirely useless. -- Mikeblas 15:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-encyclopedic, unreferenced and basically useless. --MediaMangler 15:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki Would wikisource want this? Corpx 16:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a manual. The main C++ article should have a few examples, but not an entire article dedicated to them. Useight 17:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. After !voting here, I almost proposed an AfD for Fortran code examples, but I actually think moving the examples from the Fortran article into a separate page worked out very well. The examples there are more fully developed and demonstrate the historical development of the language. The idea of creating a separate page of C++ examples might not have been that bad originally, if it had been followed through, but it doesn't fit with the current C++ main article. --MediaMangler 18:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is really nothing there of value, which isn't covered better and more thoroughly in C++ and C. In fact, most of the examples appear to be for what are basically C functionality, only with output through streaming. It is also inconsistent with the usage of '\n' and std::endl. IMHO, an article specifically about C++ examples should cover examples that show how it's substantially different from C, with a link to C code examples. If the C++ article grows to have many good examples, it would make sense to split off the article, but now is not the time yet. I would have said delete and redirect, but there is really nothing that links there in the first place. --Pekaje 19:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki & Delete To wikibooks, if deemed worthy. ~ | twsx | ^talk_cont | 21:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There is nothing useful on it as Pekaje have said. WP is not a guide, whereas Wikibook already have its bit on C++. KTC —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 13:28, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
