Heap pollution

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is not new, but is not yet complete enough to call a stub. It neither defines the meaning of heap pollution nor asserts notability. It should probably be moved to an incubator. Dfeuer (talk) 05:43, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Zero sources = original research. A few searches do not reveal any sources that can save it. CorporateM (Talk) 08:04, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It only defines the term (although not in a way that makes any sense to me) it does not explain the importance or significance of "heap pollution." By WP:Not a dictionary this article does not belong in WP. Kitfoxxe (talk) 17:46, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Generics in Java. This is a common technical problem (it is a FAQ) that crops up with generic (parametrized) types in Java. I added a ref verifying the definition. I have not been able to find multiple in-depth RS, so the topic seems to fail notability guidelines per WP:GNG. According to WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD, merging of verifiable material is preferred to deletion. It seems appropriate to merge it into a section in the Generics in Java article. --Mark viking (talk) 19:10, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No attempt is made to comply with Wikipedia's inclusion criteria at WP:GNG or otherwise. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:17, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—Two page description in the Java Language Specification,^[1]. Half-page discussion with code sample in Beginning Java.^[2] Two page discussion with code sample in Java 7 New Features Cookbook.^[3] 19 hits in the primary literature, including an extensive discussion in Stenzel 2008^[4] (certainly WP:PRIMARY and very little in the way of citation counts, but this does establish the term exists outside of Java programming manuals). I doubt this will ever hit WP:GA status, but (in my opinion) there are enough WP:RS to establish notability. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 20:33, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
