[edit] WikiVis

Procedural nomination. Article was prodded, deleted, challenged post-factum. Prod was "does not establish notability, seems to fail WP:Software, only 56 google hits". It bears mentioning that the article asserts that the creator of the software, Robert Biuk-Aghai, wrote the article. - CrazyRussian talk/email 07:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Appears to fail WP:SOFTWARE. It's worth noting that this article has a German-language counterpart in the de:Wikipedia namespace (de:Wikipedia:Wikivis) that is interwiki-linked to en:WikiVis. I suppose we could move some of the content in this article somewhere in our own Wikipedia namespace if it is found to be useful. —Caesura^(t) 16:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Move? If it's freeware and we can get a download link, perhaps list it under Wikipedia:Tools. Otherwise delete. Koweja 23:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep Given that this was an academic research project, there are probably some ideas in this article that could be merged into another article on visualization techniques. Alternately, is there a generic name for this type of software or visualization technique? My gut feeling is that the concepts in this article would be a good contribution to a more general article.

Some of it, especially the picture, could be merged into Scientific visualization which is in dire need of both cleanup and expansion. Kla'quot 03:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Weak delete - I'm changing my vote as there does not seem to be anyone motivated enough to merge this into another article. Kla'quot 09:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep! Wikipedia has been delete happy as of late and I fear that many contributor's hard work will discourage participants and will detract from our ability to catalog human knowledge, the purpose of an encyclopedia. Cheers, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 03:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
