[edit] QuickSilver (project)

QuickSilver (project) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

A non-notable academic project. Despite the claim of a large number of papers about this topic, I don't see how this in development software passes WP:NOT#CBALL Salad Days 04:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as prodder, reason was "University project with no assertion of notability". MER-C 04:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Despite papers going back fairly far, QuickSilver appears relatively new--all reports of it are in conference proceedings and technical reports. My keep would be stronger if it was in a peer-reviewed publication. Due to the fact that there are papers on the topic & you can download it, I don't really see how WP:NOT#CBALL can apply. The article describes QuickSilver as it exists now. --Karnesky 22:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep seems to be the start of something significant and is notable. --Buridan 17:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Buridan The Fox Man of Fire 20:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Nominator's own argument admits that "there are a large number of papers aboutthe project" and wishes us to delete it on his unsourced claim that "it never got off the ground". Now that comment is a pretense of OR, and being used in a negative maqnner at that. DGG 05:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
