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:
- To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
-
- Look through the list of current discussions to find items related to this subject area.
- 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. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Computing}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users 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.
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Computing.
Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or 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.
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.
[edit] Computing
- BasicATOM (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD • AfD statistics)
- (Find sources: "BasicATOM" — search, news, books, scholar, images )
Contested PROD. Non-notable computer chip, no reliable sources for verification. GlassCobra 14:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep - The article needs to be cleaned up, but notability is certainly arguable. A quick google check for "BasicATOM" turns up 218,000 hits. I would suggest tagging the article for clean up and adding sources. There are references both from the ACM and Penn State. Bkellihan (talk) 21:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Turning up 218,000 (actually 216,000) hits on google seems to mean there is quite a bit of interest in the content of the article and hardly makes it "non-notable". I was trying to add references to the article when it was tagged. If there are any comments on what should and should not be included in the article I would like to hear them as I thought I was abiding by the guidelines.

- Note that searching for "+basicatom" on Google, so as to remove all the "basic atom" hits, turns up only about 13000 hits, and I can't find anything remotely resembling significant 3rd party sources on the first few pages, so my vote is delete. --Slashme (talk) 12:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

No evidence of notability under WP:N. Nsk92 (talk) 19:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Delete or Merge If some indication of notability not produced by the processor's maker is discovered then merge else delete. Although not exhaustive, my search yielded only the maker's PR. Dethlock99 (talk) 21:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
