The result of the debate was '''DELETE'''. The transwiki option appears unclear, but the author can discuss at the relevant wikis. -[[User:Splash|Splash]]<small>^{[[User talk:Splash|talk]]}</small> 23:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

=== [[Dancing Links Java Implementation]] ===

Had a speedy tag on it at first, but due to the author's constant revision of the tag, I want to get some feedback by peers. Are Java messages supposed to be in this form on Wikipedia? If so, keep - if not, which I sincerely believe, '''delete''' [[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#000000;">'''''ε'''''</fontspan>]][[User:Encyclopedist|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#000000;">'''γκυκλοπ'''</fontspan>]][[User_talk:Encyclopedist|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#808080;">'''αίδεια'''</fontspan>]][[Wikipedia|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#808080;">'''*'''</fontspan>]] 05:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

* '''Delete'''. It might be appropriate however to keep the source code in another wiki. Wikibook? --[[User:Edcolins|Edcolins]] 08:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

* '''Comment''' move to wikibooks? Or wikisource, since it's ''source'' code... :) [[User:segv11|Jamie]] ^{([[User talk:segv11|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/segv11|contribs]])} 12:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

** See [[Wikisource:Wikisource talk:What Wikisource includes|Wikisource talk:What Wikisource includes]] and [[OldWikisource:Wikisource:Proposed deletions|Wikisource:Proposed deletions]], where editors want to delete all source code from Wikisource. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] 18:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

* '''Comment from the author''' I could not find the right place where to place this code.... It closely corresponds to the original paper by Knuth and it might be useful... Feel free to move it to the most appropriate place, but could we preserve the link to it from [[Dancing Links]]? [[User:Krage|Krage]] 16:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

**Just want to add here.. The source code here is not a software, but rather a document describing the algorithm. Many complained that the page for [[Dancing Links]] doesn't explain the algorithm itself thus it is useless. This java code explains the algorithm in the term familiar to every programmer. The original paper by Knuth is somewhat difficult to understand. [[User:Krage|Krage]] 21:44, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

*** Can't we include the core of the algorithm in a more abstract way in [[Dancing Links]], without posting the whole Java code? I think there is likely to be a need to explain the algorithm. The complete code will only help Java programmers. --[[User:Edcolins|Edcolins]] 10:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', source code listing ''isn't'' encyclopedic article. [[User:Pavel Vozenilek|Pavel Vozenilek]] 23:15, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

**I did not expect such animosity here... the people commented here are not really experts ... I am surprised that wikipedia turned out to be such a unpleasant place... I will remove links to this page and cease contributing [[User:Krage|Krage]] 04:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
