Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Extensibility pattern

This page is almost word for word the same as this page from the Perl Design Patterns Book. It has been flagged as a how-to article and for not meeting Wikipedia's standards since 2009. --Pleasantville (talk) 16:32, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to extensibility. A quick search does not turn up any sources that corroborate this article's treatment of several well-known software extensibility technologies (covered in other articles) as a single software design pattern, so the article is a how-to guide masquerading as an encyclopedic article by the addition of a novel lede.

Comment - This discussion was created without the afd2 template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I offer no opinion on the nomination itself. --Finngall ^talk 17:58, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. Even on the Perl Design Patterns site it is listed under Application Features, not under any of the pattern types. In a search on Google and Google books, design patterns are described as having extensibility rather than there being an extensibility pattern. However the extensibility article doesn't mention design patterns, so a redirect might not be appropriate. StarryGrandma (talk) 05:22, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
