[edit] CFD-Wiki

Notability problems abakharev 17:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. User:Gimme a reason to keep this put it on Prod as Yet another wiki startup (YAWS) that fails Wikipedia:Notability (websites) (no press coverage) so I am listing it on AfD. Yes, this wiki is small and might not have press coverage but it has quite a number of good written articles on CFD and numerical methods. I have already transferred to us four of them and intend to transfer a few more (the texts there are GFDL). I feel it is very impolite to use their texts and to not explain there they come from, so I think it is worth to keep this short article about their texts as it is used in the Template:CFDWiki. abakharev 18:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: It occurs to me that no good reason to override Wikipedia's guidelines (Wikipedia:Notability (websites)} have been stated above. Wouldn't it be better to remain consistent and follow the guidelines that have been agreed to by the community? No vote. James084 21:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. CFD-Wiki contains material from several scientific articles, reports and PhD thesises and thereby meets the Wikipedia:Notability (websites) criteria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.67.254.113 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete It's a wiki that any stranger can register and edit. How can scientific articles, reports and PhD theses exist in such a site?! Transfering text from wikis or citing wikis as sources is akin to citing a CyberDude's post in some CyberWebForum. Seriously, sir, WP:WEB criteria 3 cannot apply to publicly-editable wikis. In this case, it fails #1 and #2, too. --Perfecto 00:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
