Asynchronous semaphore

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

Original research. Notability doubtful. No references since 2011. A search turned up no authoritative references. PROD removed without improvement. Rhadow (talk) 11:24, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: nothing in Google news, only a few hundred Google results, which of course doesn't preclude notability, but all of the sources are either affiliated or unreliable (WordPress, for example). I agree with the original research assertion by the nominator because many of its claims aren't even verified in self-published sources. Little indication of passing general notability guidelines.

Delete. Looks like this tries to highlight a differecen between a "semaphore" and an "asynchronous semaphore". I don't think any such difference exists. Probably want to leave a redirect to Semaphore (programming). -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:42, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as original research and failing WP:GNG. I do not believe even a redirect is necessary, doubtful anyone would ever type that in a search box considering the tiny number of Google hits. Ifnord (talk) 22:30, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
