[edit] FreeDOM (programming)

FreeDOM (programming) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is mostly a copy of http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/freedom.asp and is as far as I can tell wholly made up of original research about a non-notable invention of its author, CodeAdams. The article cites no reliable sources, and portions of it are written in the first person. (indeed, the "History" section proclaims: “The FreeDOM technique was invented by Adam Smith on September 28, 2007.”) Some of its content is potentially relevant to the article about Comet (programming). jacobolus (t) 05:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Seems to have no other mentions other than primary source article on codeproject. It would be easier to decide to keep if this project had a presence on SourceForge/GoogleCode/etc, had existed for more than a few days, had a non-trivial number of users/contributors, and had articles or references on other notable websites. See no original research and no madeup things and notability. -- Bovineone 16:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. User:CodeAdams is probably Adam Smith--the inventor of FreeDOM. The article is mostly original research.-- Mumia-w-18 07:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Because of the strong promotional tone, if this were not already at AfD, a G11 speedy deletion might be considered. The absence of sources implies there is no way to demonstrate notability. EdJohnston 13:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
