Rosetta Code

Rosetta Code (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no indication of notability for this website. I searched and could find no reliable sources. While there are links listed on talk, they do not meet WP:RS. As it does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:WEB, the article should be deleted. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:02, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Wikipedia is not a reliable source. In order to be kept, the notability must be established through references in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:38, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Vote withdrawal - sorry, at the moment I don't have opportunity to read through the catalogue of reasons a page should be deleted vs kept, me thinks a Wikipedia expert is required who knows the keep rules. I see the problem being that Rosettacode is only peer reviewed and it is a purely electronic entity. Hence Rosettacode in not in newsprint, and would have few paper scholarly citations.
Question: There are 40+ "wikilinks" to http://rosettacode.org. Are these links & contributions (under the same "delete-me/AfD" reasoning) set to be removed too? {re: WP:BOLD (with civility, please!): I'm thinking, if so then it would be polite to add an appropriate "delete-me" note to the both the wikilinks and other wikipedia links/URL's also. e.g these other pages: Google: site:wikipedia with rosettacode => About 261 results (0.24 seconds)}.

Whether or not those links are removed has nothing whatsoever to do with this discussion. Here, we are simply trying to decide whether or not the subject is notable enough for its own Wikipedia article, which is a different standard than we use for determining what can be linked/cited. It's certainly plausible that a number of those links should be removed, but that would be a separate discussion to be held in each of those pages. While I would personally remove all of them (and I would recommend doing so even if the article is not deleted), I'm not going to take the effort to go track them all down. There's millions of improper links on Wikipedia, so it's just a matter of fixing the ones we see as we see them. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:09, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your generalised delete all links is a tad harsh and this indirect AfD lacks a certain amount of transparency as the numerous affected pages are not engaged nor given any notice. Similary: If you want the page removed, then it would be reasonable to also take the time to follow through and notify each page then fix the wikilinks that will be broken ... c.f. WP:BOLD (with civility, please!). If you don't have the time I can help you post advance notice on the appropriate pages. NevilleDNZ (talk) 03:02, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, and you cannot do so either--that would violate WP:CANVAS. We never do that for AfDs (backtrack all "what links here" and notify them). That's simply beyond the scope of an AfD notification. And I think we had some miscommunication--I'm saying that if there are any external links to the actual Rosetta Code website, those should be removed. Internal links can be kept--they'll just go red; then others may remove them later (leaving them in the text, but as regular black text), or the can stay red and if the site ever does become notable in the future, they would automatically relink if the article were recreated. At worst, the closing admin could do the deletion such that it automtatically removed all of the wikilinks; however, if it did so, the text would remain (black text), just no wikilink. Thus, no harm comes to those articles in any way.Qwyrxian (talk) 03:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep site, maybe the the site is not referenced that often. I see this often with community sites, there are less references because the main content/work/reference is on the site itself. There are several thousand users registered on RC and in the last month more than one hundred people contributed/worked/changed something. This has to be considered as well.

No, no in fact it doesn't. That has nothing whatsoever to do with Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please try to provide arguments that are valid per WP:GNG or WP:WEB. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:32, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
