Hello,
Ttt74! Could you, please, elaborate a bit on why do you find PHP to be a bad example, and its inclusion to be a "waste of energy"? As already noted in my edit, different SAPI options available in PHP were selected as an example, and adding more examples is what should be done instead of deleting already existing content. —

Hi, I didn't say it is "a bad example", but I find that the content I deleted doesn't meet the wikipedia quality standards. Also, it sounds to be misplaced: it needs to be well-written in other section that contains many examples, not only PHP.

I'd have to disagree, the content in question isn't any worse than 90% of the content on Wikipedia. Please do realise that this article is currently a stub, and you simply can't expect it to grow by deleting already existing content. Let me reiterate myself, the key is in adding new examples. —

I don't know why you insist on "examples": well, it's not that necessary: how many examples will we need to write then, 100, 1000? That's why I said it's a waste of energy. BTW, what do you mean by "the content in question isn't any worse than 90% of the content on Wikipedia"?

The article describes a rather abstract concept, and the whole thing is much more understandable with examples, out of which PHP is a widely used one. Please be constructive, we don't need hundreds of examples, a few would suffice. What I referred to in the quotation above is what I wrote, which means that the content you've deleted isn't badly written at all. —

"out of which PHP is a widely used one. Please be constructive, we don't need hundreds of examples, a few would suffice": reliable sources of information shouldn't use the widely used thing as the main example: articles on Wikipedia needs to be written on a neutral point of view without bias or spamming. You may put the content, you are finding to be important, on the PHP article and add
PHP on the "See also": this article is not it. I think I'm done here: I don't want to waste more time on this article. There's no need to revert my edit again.

After searching for "Server Application Programming Interface" on google, I found few results and what I found is only ISAPI, NSAPI, Oracle SAPI and Apache SAPI. Seems that this term is not being widely used. So what I did is further moving the content to
Web API#SAPI[1] and
PHP instead of keeping redundancy infos and wasting energy on a separate article. I've moved
[2] the PHP example to
PHP article and added
[3] PHP into the See Also section of
Web API. Can we seek this merge as a compromize?

Well, I'm wondering why should only I care about this article? If nobody else cares, I won't go into edit warring with you. This is just Wikipedia, and very few people take it seriously anyway. —

I hope I did the right thing: I'm always trying to compromize and do the right decisions.

In my book, doing that wasn't the right thing. Just my $.02. —

the content that was on this article was very few.
OK, You're right here, I missed that.

Wouldn't SAPI be notable enough if only Apache used it, even if Microsoft's IIS didn't use it? It doesn't matter that the article was a stub, we have numerous even smaller stubs all around. —

Stubs are not great: they just keep redundency everywhere and cause many waste of time and scattered content, instead of being unified.

That's your opinion, to which I respectfully disagree. —
