Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Internet
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Internet. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Internet|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Internet. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Weak keep- i originally approved it from draft. popular meme, and saw that there was at least a rolling stone article and Yahoo News article, which are both on WP:RSP and suggest notability. Daily Dot is also on WP:RSP, though we are supposed to attribute it. That also seemed to indicate notability.- The other sourcing probably can't prove notability, agreed, but I edited after the fact to cite some of the claims (i.e. apparently an interview by Ninja from some podcast). Bluethricecreamman (talk) 18:54, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- oh did not realize there is a subsection on Ninja's page.

Through a web search, it doesn't appear that this is a notable company. I've found some web articles [1][2][3], but with a quick read, I'm concerned about significant coverage (i.e., commentary, analysis, etc.) of the company's services within those sources, per WP:CORPDEPTH.

- Delete The article reads like an advertisement or product description rather than an article, which is not acceptable in Wikipedia's standards. In addition, there are just three references; one by the company's own page, an article in a technologic publication and a product review. These are not enough to consider the company to be notable. Just to be sure, I searched for more inependent sources on the company to possibly add later on, and found almost nothing beyond brief mentions. NeoGaze (talk) 15:09, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think there's SIGCOV of the company, but I found several sources about the product: [4], [5], [6], [7]. I'm not entirely sure how to resolve that. Anerdw (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete and redirect as much as I like the topic of this article he does not meet the requirements for WP:GNG as there are few (if any) reliable secondary sources to establish notability TheMysteriousStar (talk) 06:06, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect, the article is written from a fan’s perspective, does not seem to fulfill WP:GNG, and is much better served as a redirect to the main article about the show itself. The photo used should also be deleted, as I believe it’s been copied from Nebula without permission from the rightsholders. LivLovisa (talk) 07:56, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Jet Lag: The Game. No evidence of notability by himself. Esolo5002 (talk) 19:05, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – While the article needs improvements in sourcing and tone, I believe the subject is notable for his role as co-creator and host of the popular travel competition series *Jet Lag: The Game*, which has received Streamy and Webby Award recognition. This establishes some level of cultural significance. I encourage editors to improve the article with better sourcing and structure instead of deleting it. Per WP:BEFORE and WP:ATD, improvement should be considered before deletion.If anyone is able to help locate better sources or improve the tone and citation structure, that would be greatly appreciated. Erichbchk (talk) 19:21, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect, the article fails WP:GNG, but I agree with @Somebodyidkfkdt, it should be redirected to Jet Lag: The Game.

Lacks WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Sources provided are primary or blog sites and I was unable to find any other reliable sources. Not to be confused with the other Grok by Twitter/X. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 18:33, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- I was instrumental to the creation of Grok the web framework so I'm not an unbiased source; in this day and age I would not feel comfortable editing a wikipedia page about it anymore. We're talking about a web framework that had minor but global attention but has had little attention for a long time.
- There is actually a published book about Grok:
- https://www.packtpub.com/en-us/product/grok-10-web-development-9781847197498
- https://www.amazon.com/Grok-1-0-Development-Carlos-Guardia/dp/1847197485
- At some point Grok technology was part of the Plone project:
- https://4.docs.plone.org/appendices/five-grok/background/what-is-grok-and-five-grok.html
- It's not a surprise most of the stuff you could find is in blog sites; this was a web framework conceived during the heyday of blogging and a lot of the primary evidence it had some significance and users in multiple countries is through blog entries. So in the rest I will attempt to show that there was a little global community that used Grok and talked about it. I'm from the Netherlands myself, gave conference talks at least in Germany as far as I can recall.
- The author of the Grok book, Carlos de la Guardia, is from Mexico.
- Here's a company in Lithuania that still has a page up offering Grok consulting services:
- http://www.nous.lt/consulting.html
- Here's a conference talk recording (with terrible audio) about Grok at a Pycon conference in the US:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF77e2TeeQo
- Here's a talk held in Argentina about it:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVbFujCBHjg
- Here's a random youtube video mentioning Grok:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h17HFEwhz80
- A US developer at Georgia tech:
- And here are some blog entries:
- https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2007/my-november-grok-presentation/
- A US developer reports on a developer in Brazil (now the author of "Fluent Python") using it:
- https://www.nateaune.com/kirbi-a-peer-to-peer-library-built-with-grok/
- Here's someone blogging in French about it:
- https://www.boureliou.com/2009/grok-1-0-released/
- Here's a presentation in Japanese that mentions Grok:
- http://plone.jp/event-report/opendocs/osw2009-zope
- Here's the website of a company in Germany who talk about a Grok meetup:
- https://www.acsr.de/archive/der-grok-neanderthal-sprint-im-rheinland/
- So it was notable enough to have a small global community of people who used it and talked about t, but it was also a relatively small community. Martijn Faassen (talk) 19:26, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- I also found this paper which discusses Grok:
- "Leveraging Convention over Configuration for
- Static Analysis in Dynamic Languages"
- https://dave.coffee/assets/GreHack-2012-Leveraging_Convention_over_Configuration_for_Static_Analysis_in_Dynamic_Languages.pdf Martijn Faassen (talk) 19:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- I did a google book search and there are actually quite a few books that mention Grok:
- Professional Plone 4 Development by Martin Aspeli, 2011
- Pro Python System Administration by Rytis Sileika, 2014
- Python for Unix and Linux System Administration by Noah Gift, Jeremy M. Jones, 2008
- Plone 3 Products Development Cookbook by Juan Pablo Giménez, 2010

- Enterprise Android: Programming Android Database Applications for the Enterprise
- By Zigurd Mednieks, G. Blake Meike, Laird Dornin, Zane Pan, 2013
- Even an article on Dutch history by J.W.J. Burgers – Rik Hoekstra The registers of the counts of Holland, 1316–1345: a digital edition in G. Vogeler (Hrsg.): Digitale Diplomatik
- / Buchrezensionen mentions Grok in a technology credit.
- Oh, and Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho, a very popular book about Python, mentions Grok:
- Fluent Python: Clear, Concise, and Effective Programming - Page xxiii Martijn Faassen (talk) 19:55, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Here are some papers that discuss Grok in some detail:
- Worth, David, and Justin Collins. "Leveraging Convention over Configuration for Static Analysis in Dynamic Languages." G 2 reHack 012: 27.
- Cerjak, Jure. Razvoj spletnih aplikacij s platformo Zope. Diss. Univerza v Ljubljani, 2010.
- Lederer, Dominique. "zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades” Master of Science in Engineering”/” Diplomingenieur (FH)”."
- Foglia Ardila, Andrés Felipe. "Comparación del desarrollo de un aplicativo web entre los lenguajes de programación Python y Java." (2014).
- There are plenty of other papers that mention Grok as a Python web framework in a more throwaway way, but that still establishes some level of notability. A good way to filter papers for this specific Grok is to look for "grok zope" or "grok python" (the former works better than the latter). Martijn Faassen (talk) 22:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: I can only find links about Elon's version of Grok. I'm not sure what's given for sourcing is enough. Oaktree b (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Zope#Grok which should be slightly expanded with material from this article. This would make the Zope article a bit more robust, match other Zope redirects listed in Category:Python_(programming_language)_web_frameworks, and not break any external links pointing to this article.

- I think merging it into Zope as was suggested would make a lot of sense, with a redirect. While Grok may be obscure now, I think the sources I dug up do demonstrate a level of notability.
- Is it because another project named Grok came to prominence that this article has received more scrutiny recently? Search engines would be far more likely to lead to Grok the web framework related material in the past than they do now. Martijn Faassen (talk) 00:47, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, confuses readers yes, but does not pass WP:SIGCOV more importantly and for that reason the article should be deleted, not the other or any other reasons which are not grounded in policies or guidelines. Iljhgtn (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Is there any more support for a Merge or Redirect?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:11, 13 April 2025 (UTC)- Hi @Liz, please take no offense to this query, but I am curious about what sort of factors a closer uses to decide on consensus? It would appear to me to be very much subjective based on the closer. For example, what here brought you to say, "Is there any more support for a Merge or Redirect?" Iljhgtn (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Not to speak for Liz, but when there is consensus not to retain an article as a standalone page, the WP:ATD policy recommends looking for an alternative to deletion, typically in the form of a redirect or merge to a suitable target. There doesn't need to be a consensus to redirect or merge for an AfD to be closed as such. All that is required is consensus not to keep the article, and some support for the alternative for deletion. So yes, Iljhgtn, there is a fair amount of leeway in how a closer may read consensus. But in this case, Liz is doing exactly what any closer should do, namely, seek support for the lone call to Redirect the page. Hope this helps! Owen× ☎ 15:47, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- That makes perfect sense, but I rarely, if ever, see others do what she is doing. Either they are almost all doing it wrong... or... so I just felt it best to ask. Iljhgtn (talk) 16:11, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DIVE Studios. G4 was declined, so bringing it back for discussion.

Not even trying to be anything other than an essay. The sources are high-quality (even if already dated), but it flunks WP:FORUM criterion 1 and WP:SOAPBOX. Patrick (talk) 16:51, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
Delete- An article on this topic seems useful, and as noted above, it's well sourced(if dated). But structuring this into something article-worthy seems like it would effectively require rewriting it from the ground up.- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Popular culture, Social science, and Internet. Skynxnex (talk) 17:36, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - This article is just an essay, not a Wikipedia article. Although an article on this topic would be useful, it needs to be rewritten substantially, and so the best thing is just to delete it. Masktapeisawesome (talk) 18:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC).
- Keep: might want to !draft it, it has good sources but oh boy does it need updating. I'm sure this is still an issue with the adolescents of today. Perhaps rewrite so it's worldwide, not just in the USA though. Oaktree b (talk) 18:39, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think WP:TNT applies. Created almost 10 years ago and this would require a rewrite for today. – The Grid (talk) 18:53, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- If anyone steps up to rewrite the article, I'll happily withdraw my nomination for deletion. Based on the edit histories of the major contributors, however, I'm not sure where we could draftify it and expect to get anything back. Patrick (talk) 19:15, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- It has already been through 1 rewrite in 2018. Witness Special:Permalink/852239206 and Special:Diff/852467366. It grew from that, via multiple WikiEd course assignments listed on the talk page, back to the same size as before. Uncle G (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- If draft isn't an option, I'm ok with a !delete. I wouldn't want to rewrite it. Oaktree b (talk) 02:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TNT; also, is a page with this niche of a topic necessary, per WP:INDISCRIMINATE? I get that in all likelihood, American adolescents are probably the most studied when it comes to social media case studies, but could this page not theoretically be merged onto a page on social media addiction in general? Or a one on teenagers in general? Unless there's something funky specifically targetting American adolsecents, I really think the scope should be broader. jolielover♥talk 20:21, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete it seems arbitrary to only focus on Americans when it comes to such broad claims about general use, and either way the page reads like a soapbox with stances for and against social media. I'm surprised this didn't focus on just positive or just negative claims, which would've led to WP:POV problems. Not seeing a feasible way to rewrite the page as it does read like an essay. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:18, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
- I see both sides. There has been tons of research on the topic, but the article (essay?) as written has a lot of issues. But it could be rescued with some work. I've spent the weekend trying to rescue a different article, which by my count is about # 211 or so that I've rescued, and got an angry email from a young man offended and complaining about the tone of one of my edit summaries. I can't even. So if you want to rescue this, it's your turn. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Bearian (talk) 22:48, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify per the previous comments. The topic is interesting and supported by reliable sources, even if they are dated. I'm sure more up-to-date research could be added. The scope should probably be expanded to include all adolescents as well, instead of limiting it to Americans. But if that is not a popular option then my second choice would be to delete it.
