This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Computing. 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:

1. 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.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Computing|~~~~}} 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 Computing. 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.

Businessperson that lacks notability. References on the article are either unreliable/primary or are about ThetaRay, not the subject of the article. Brandon ( talk) 21:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC) reply

This doesn't meet WP:ORG / WP:GNG. Boleyn ( talk) 17:28, 28 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Delete per WP:GNG. At best some content could be merged into Eclipse process framework, but there doesn't seem to be much verifiable content anyway. — xDanielx ^T/ _C\ ^R 19:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I found no significant coverage, there is none in the article, and it reads like an advertisement. A PROD was contested in 2013. SL93 ( talk) 01:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Fails GNG, no SIGCOV outside the original paper Helpful Raccoon ( talk) 21:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Computing and Software. Helpful Raccoon ( talk) 21:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Delete. The original paper from 1998 (a "technical notice" in a special-interest-group newsletter) has no citations in Google Scholar. This appears to have had no traction and we have no coverage at all (let alone SIGCOV) in sources independent from its author. — David Eppstein ( talk) 22:24, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources and what's linked in the article doesn't establish notability. There is significant coverage of the group in Freax: The Brief History of the Demoscene, Volume 1 (2005) by Tamás Polgár [ hu, but that's only one source of unclear reliability. toweli ( talk) 15:33, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Blatant self promotion of a non-notable programming language. Was already deleted once before for the same reason: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EC (programming language) Apocheir ( talk) 23:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources and what's linked in the article doesn't establish notability. Surprisingly, there isn't significant coverage of the group in Freax: The Brief History of the Demoscene, Volume 1 (2005) by Tamás Polgár [ hu; "Andromeda" is mentioned 25 times, but in reference to the Norwegian demo group, not the Greek group that is the subject of the article. toweli ( talk) 13:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete. No trace of the demogroup in any remotely significant sources and I could not find any suitable sources that would be beneficial to the article. This should have been gone years ago. MimirIsSmart ( talk) 09:21, 28 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Delete I can't find any other significant coverage of the group. The only somewhat reliable mention I've found is this article related to the Beatles which is not enough to establish notability. Uffda608 ( talk) 22:29, 27 June 2024 (UTC) reply
