  • Delete or move to Wikibooks. —BenFrantzDale 20:05, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Clean up. There's a lot more useful content here than in some rather-popular Wiki articles. Atlant 01:05, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or move to Wikibooks -- not encyclopedic, and much of the content is of dubious correctness anyway. Neilc 01:20, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Exactly. Many are also vague like "Consider providing Error Stratergies" or "Do Not Create Buffer Overflow problems", which is about the same as saying "do not write code with bugs". —BenFrantzDale June 28, 2005 14:20 (UTC)
  • Delete or move to Wikibooks. Whether or not the content is objectionable, it's certainly not in the format of an encyclopedia article. The C article already extensively discusses problems with C, which covers much of this, and anything it doesn't could be merged into that section. Besides, much of the advice is not specific to C. Be gentle on the contributor though — they're obviously new and probably didn't realise this material was inappropriate. I'd suggest merge and redirect, but the title is nothing someone could conceivably type in a search box. Deco 29 June 2005 19:44 (UTC)
