[edit] Majestic-12 Distributed Search Engine

ATTENTION! If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a ballot, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting heads. You can participate and give your opinion. Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Happy editing!

Previously deleted following this AFD debate, but result was disputed and this DRV debate produced a majority for undeletion and relisting. Therefore this discussion is restarted. No vote from this admin. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral per my comments on the last AfD, and a reminder to everybody to keep it civil and please do not vote just because someone asked you to. TheProject 07:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:NOT for crystallballgazing and this is alpha release software. Good luck to all concerned with the project, but it is not, as yet, suitable for inclusion here. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete per Angus. The whole page is crystal ballism. Right now, I don't think this can possibly pass the proposed Wikipedia:Notability (software). -- Kicking222 14:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, alpha release, per Angus. Perhaps in the future, when it satisfies Wikipedia:Notability (software). Docether 17:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; WP:NOT a crystal ball. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 18:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: the article can be recreated when/if this software passes the notability criteria. Still, it's an interesting project: I look forward to reading about it when it's successful. -- Karada 18:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for now. It's premature to have an encyclopedia article on this particular topic. There isn't enough independent material yet on which to base this prospective article. Reconsider the topic for recreation of the article after it has clearly achieved notability. Rossami (talk) 20:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for now; revisit after completion if notable. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 20:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks very interesting, I hope the project goes well, but it's not quite notable yet. (~Kylu) 207.145.133.34 21:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm a bit confused and a bit "angry" that this kind of information was deleted. Why? There has been given at least three references to media coverage (although only one/two in English). And then the main reason for deleting it is Notability. My understandig of that concept is weird since I think Majestic-12_Distributed_Search_Engine was notable. I looked up this project when I first read about it in the news (Norwegian Digi.no article). Hoping for some neutral information and different viewpoints (typically for Wikipedia in areas with diverging viewpoints). Now its just deleted by far as I can see some far fetched concepts about notability and not working project (it is in full operation with search possibilities last time I checked the site). (Sorry for repeating myself from an earlier discussion). Nsaa 21:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Karada's suggestion. --Starionwolf 06:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
