Line 8 ⟶ 15:

* '''Redirect''' to [[extensibility]]. A [[WP:BEFORE|quick search]] does not turn up any sources that corroborate this article's treatment of several well-known software extensibility technologies (covered in other articles) as a single [[software design pattern]], so the article is a [[WP:NOTHOWTO|how-to guide]] masquerading as an encyclopedic article by the addition of a [[WP:OR|novel lede]].

*'''Comment''' - This discussion was created without the afd2 template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I offer no opinion on the nomination itself. --[[User:Finngall|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;"><b>Finngall</b></fontspan>]] [[User Talk:Finngall|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#D4A017;">^talk</fontspan>]] 17:58, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

*'''Delete or redirect'''. Even on the Perl Design Patterns site it is listed under Application Features, not under any of the pattern types. In a search on Google and Google books, design patterns are described as having extensibility rather than there being an extensibility pattern. However the [[extensibility]] article doesn't mention design patterns, so a redirect might not be appropriate.

* '''Delete''' This reads like an [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought|essay]] and seems to contain [[WP:OR]]; the rest does seem somewhat like a how-to manual. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not this. See [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]]. [[Extensibility]] is a concern in program design, but "design pattern" and "extensibility pattern" do not appear to be [[Jargon|terms of art]] in the field. Not withstanding the article Hummes, Jakob, and Bernard Merialdo. 2000 "[http://www.isislab.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Hummes2000.pdf Design of extensible component-based groupware."] ''Computer Supported Cooperative Work'' (CSCW) 9.1: 53-74. The term appears with more regularity in biology and medicine, usually with respect to muscles and other flexible articulata. &nbsp;--[[User:Bejnar|Bejnar]] ([[User talk:Bejnar|talk]]) 20:07, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
