Sscanf

Another apparently lost/orphaned VfD nom, as the tag was added November 23, but it doesn't seem to have ever been placed on the main VfD page--also not on "old" (and is an has no links from VfD-related pages). Procedural/abstain--apparently a detailed library function definition from a Linux Programmer's Manual. If somebody thinks it could possibly become encyclopedic it seems to need some serious cleanup.

There are better places to maintain man pages than Wikipedia --Cvaneg 01:05, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It is still a useful article. Moderate deletion to immediate cleanup-- Watsonladd
Delete. Purely a copy-and-paste from the sscanf manpage. Not encyclopedic. David Johnson 19:24, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete: Despite the presence of some things that haven't been nominated for VfD, man pages are not encyclopedic. Geogre 19:46, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Probably a copyvio too, the manpages for glibc are probably GPL, which isn't compatible with GFDL. --fvw* 19:56, 2004 Nov 27 (UTC)
- Aren't operating systems' man pages public domain though? --Idont Havaname 06:27, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  - Um, no, not in any way, unless explicitly released into public domain (or, I guess, after the OS has been around for close to a century.) --jpgordon{gab} 06:40, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete it, extremely. Blatant manpage copy. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 20:50, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Cleanup. Look at the page for Printf. --Idont Havaname 21:33, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Ooh, good point. I'm on it. --fvw * 21:40, 2004 Nov 27 (UTC)
Delete: Wikipedia is not a programming reference. Wile E. Heresiarch 21:45, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Move to Wikibooks for C language. Exactly the place. Mikkalai 22:49, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. We're not a set of manpages. If you need to know about this, chances are very very good that you already have the documentation on your computer. --Improv 23:16, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete, W.I.N.A. manual. Gazpacho 01:54, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete, what very nearly everyone else said. - RedWordSmith 03:19, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

Delete unless seriously cleaned/rewritten. Don't bother to move to wikibooks. jni 12:04, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
