[edit] Python philosophy

Python philosophy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article contains no information that is not in the main Python (programming language) article. The article merely copies verbatim the text available at the Python website, which is inconsistent with Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources. I attempted to "be bold" and redirect this article to the appropriate section of the "Python Programming Language" article, but was met with resistance by this page's creator. I would suggest merging this article with "Python (programming language)"; however, seeing as there is nothing of value in "Python philosophy", there is nothing to merge; therefore I suggest this belongs in the AfD process.

  • Delete Falls even short of essay--victor falk 21:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. And here was I thinking this was going to contain philosophical thoughts like "Always look on the bright side of life", or at least some reference to a certain song about philosophers. Grutness...wha? 00:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Not a speedy delete, though, since this is in the public domain. Link the essay in Python (programming language) and be done with it. --Phirazo 02:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, but expand with more information on background or context of "Zen of Python". LotLE×talk 05:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete put it at the lang. page. JJL 00:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as noted above. – Mipadi 14:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge relevant information in a stylistic fashion to Python (programming language) (don't merely copy and paste it.) Do not delete. - Chardish 18:33, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and/or redirect to Python (programming language). Violates rules against original research, forks based on a point of view, and notability. Bearian 21:12, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
