[edit] LOSP

Scientists estimate that there are enough IPv6 addresses to uniquely identify every atom in the universe. The same cannot, unfortunately, be said for unreleased now-defunct open-source software projects. This just isn't notable. Delete — Lomn | Talk / RfC 02:59:59, 2005-08-26 (UTC)

The game was released obviously, just not the source code, that has nothing to do with deleting the page or not. Just because you never heard of it doesn't mean many people didn't enjoy playing it.. Keep Yonir

I would generally interpret Alpha as unreleased in any meaningful form. For that matter, Google doesn't see any relevant reference in the top 100 apart from the developer's personal page and the project host. I did see the League of Ordinary Shuffleboard Players, though. If notability can be established, I'll be happy to recant. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 03:09:43, 2005-08-26 (UTC)

Well, The name "Alpha" doesn't represent it well, if you want to find more relevant google results search "losp liero open source project". Can I remove the VfD status now.. ? Yonir

That string you suggest gives 27 hits before Google lapses into similar pages. Seeing correct results for the full version of the acronym does suggest that, if it survives, the article should be renamed. Regardless, the VfD needs to run its course. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 04:02:09, 2005-08-26 (UTC)

I realized that I'm not supposed to delete VfD status now reading in the "Guide to Votes for Deletion".. So you're saying that a page must be named after the search line that will make google give the most relevant results.. ? If the League of Ordinary Shuffleboard Players want a wikipedia page they can make a "ambigouty" (sp) page.. (well, they don't "deserve" a wikipedia page I guess though :p) Anyway, I don't think that "LOSP Liero Open Source Project" is the best string for results, as it is usually reffered to as LOSP, this just gives only relevant results. Yonir

btw how do you add the "personal info" line (such as "— Lomn | Talk / RfC 04:02:09, 2005-08-26 (UTC)")

Since LOSP is pretty much a thing of the past, cant it just be moved in under Liero just like Joosa was? Wikipedia is suppose to have everything right? But now it doesnt if things get deleted. So at least put it somewhere else. Either with Liero or with Gusanos. Ulvbot 06:11, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Anyhow i copied all the stuff here to Liero Wiki so nothing will be lost. Ulvbot 06:31, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

hmm, sounds like a good idea. Yonir 11:42, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

though both Liero and gusanos refer to "LOSP", that's what made me create the article on the first place.. Yonir 12:56, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Gusanos deserves his own page on Wikipedia, since it's actively being developed. LOSP however, can be moved under Liero or (even better) Gusanos. -- Sander 14:23, 26 August 2005 (UTC) (yes, still alive ;) but not on GU recently)

• Merge with Liero. Defunct, incomplete game with no significant following: the "official forums" have been averaging one or two threads a month for several years now. --Carnildo 21:58, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Lots of talking. Non-notable computer game. Sdedeo 22:10, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

ok, I merged LOSP into Gusanos (I think it's better there, since the games are merging too, makes sence to merge the articles ;o) and changed the links for LOSP to the gusanos section on LOSP (gusanos#LOSP). I guess this article can be deleted now :<. Yonir 23:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

btw LOSP should still redirect to gusanos I guess. Yonir 00:10, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

After reading the help page on merging.. already changed the page to redirect, I hope it's ok to change it even though it was in VfD status. :S Yonir 00:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
