Delete. I can't find anything other than passing mentions. Fails WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 01:51, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Ditto about passing mentions. I was somewhat surprised to find that this code, originating in 2001, has had some recent (2-4 years) updates. Possibly a useful utility, but not notable. Lamona (talk) 02:08, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Useful tool, but not notable. ThatIPEditor ^{Talk · Contribs} 09:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: Redirect and add to Regular expression as an example.VectorVoyager (talk) 11:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per VectorVoyager. This page is linked linked over a dozen times onwiki and probably many more times offwiki since its creation in 2006. It would be highly irresponsible to delete this without a redirect target. I strongly encourage the closer to choose this ATD. Toadspike [Talk] 08:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Toadspike: I intend to close it as redirect, but just FYI most admins closing AFDs these days use the XFD closer script, which can semi-automatically unlink those backlinks in the event of a deletion. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 23:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As nominator, I don't have any preference between redirecting and deleting the article. HyperAccelerated (talk) 15:03, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
