The result of the debate was '''DELETE''' [[User:Babajobu|Babajobu]] 21:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

===[[java.lang]]===

'''Delete'''. This, and all the other articles concerning the Java standard packages, is merely a list of all included classes. This is already very well documented in Sun's javadoc and is useless. (I don't know of a single developer or layman that will use the page.) In short: It is non-encyclopedic. - [[User:ElAmericano|ElAmericano]] | [[User talk:ElAmericano|talk]] 01:57, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:Agreed --[[User:Hooperbloob|Hooperbloob]] 02:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom. Should probably also add [[java.lang.ref]] and [[java.lang.reflect]] to this list as well. <fontspan style="font-variant: small-caps;">-- [[User:Shinmawa|ShinmaWa]]^{([[User_talk:Shinmawa|talk]])}</fontspan> 02:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', agreed. -[[User:Wstclair|Will]] 02:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' as ''listcruft''. Wikipedia is not a [[manpage]]. [[User:segv11|Segv11]] ^{([[User talk:segv11|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/segv11|contribs]])} 03:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' all three (java.lang and .ref and .reflect). Maybe setup a redirect to Java, which has links to Sun's site. '''[[User:Cyde|Cyde Weys]]''' [[Wikipedia:Two-millionth topic pool|<fontspan style="background: #000000"; face="font-family:Impact"; color=":#00a5ff;">[[Wikipedia:Two-millionth topic pool|2M-VOTE]]</fontspan>]] 05:17, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

* '''Slight merge''' all to [[Packages in Java]]. <span class="user-sig user-Quarl"><i>&mdash;[[User:Quarl|Quarl]] ^{([[User Talk:Quarl|talk]])} <small>[[2006-01-16]]&nbsp;05:50[[ISO 8601|Z]]</small></i></span>

:'''Comment'''. Enough overview is included in [[Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition]]. We can't really add more without just listing classes. - [[User:ElAmericano|ElAmericano]] | [[User talk:ElAmericano|talk]] 16:19, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

** Okay. '''Redirect''' to [[Packages in Java]] or [[Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition]] <span class="user-sig user-Quarl"><i>&mdash;[[User:Quarl|Quarl]] ^{([[User Talk:Quarl|talk]])} <small>[[2006-01-17]]&nbsp;01:49[[ISO 8601|Z]]</small></i></span>

*'''Redirect''' per Quarl. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] 20:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Strong delete''', WP is not online documentation system. Do the same to .ref and .reflect. [[User:Pavel Vozenilek|Pavel Vozenilek]] 21:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' all three articles cited above, or '''redirect''' them per Quarl. Important within their topic, but already properly covered, per ElAmericano. [[WP:NOT]]. [[User:Barno|Barno]] 22:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' I doubt it will be possible to give full breadth to the java languge in one article. --[[User:TimPope|TimPope]] 22:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom [[User:Incognito|Incognito]] 00:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Strong delete''' <s>all three</s> (java.lang <s>and .ref</s> and .reflect). Note that I have created templates ([[Template:Javadoc:SE]] and [[Template:Javadoc:EE]]) that create links into the current version of the Java API [[Javadoc]]. The advantage of using these templates instead of pages on Wiki is that the links go to a much richer set of documentation, and when a new version of the [[Java SE]] API is released, the URL for the API docs on Wiki is changed in a single place at [[Template:Javadoc:SE/Home URL]]. If these pages are deleted, the current links to these pages should be replaced with:

** <code><nowiki>{{Javadoc:SE|package=java.lang|java/lang}}</nowiki></code> → {{Javadoc:SE|package=java.lang|java/lang}}

** <code><nowiki>{{Javadoc:SE|package=java.lang.ref|java/lang/ref}}</nowiki></code> → {{Javadoc:SE|package=java.lang.ref|java/lang/ref}}

** <code><nowiki>{{Javadoc:SE|package=java.lang.reflect|java/lang/reflect}}</nowiki></code> → {{Javadoc:SE|package=java.lang.reflect|java/lang/reflect}}

::*Actually, after relooking at it, I think the content in [[java.lang.ref]] should be generalized, expanded and merged into the Implementations section in [[Garbage collection (computer science)]]. Still vote to '''delete''' [[java.lang]] and [[java.lang.reflect]]. &ndash; [[User:Doug Bell|Doug Bell]] ^{[[User talk:Doug Bell|talk]]'''&bull;'''[[Special:Contributions/Doug Bell|contrib]]} 10:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

* I agree with Doug Bell that the content in java.ref about weak references et al should be merged to Garbage collection, or better yet, [[Weak reference]]. <span class="user-sig user-Quarl"><i>&mdash;[[User:Quarl|Quarl]] ^{([[User Talk:Quarl|talk]])} <small>[[2006-01-20]]&nbsp;10:37[[ISO 8601|Z]]</small></i></span>
