Note: If you are seeing this page as a result of an attempt to re-nominate an article for deletion, you must manually edit the AfD nomination links in order to create a new discussion page using the name format of [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PAGENAME (2nd nomination)]]. When you create the new discussion page, please provide a link to this old discussion in your nomination. -->
The result was '''keep'''. See [[WP:NOTCLEANUP]]. Per [[WP:GNG]], it is not necessary that an article ''contain'' references to reliable sources; those sources must merely exist. [[User:King of Hearts|King of]] [[User:King of Hearts|<

Declined [[WP:PROD]]. PROD was removed several months ago, yet no attempt was ever made to fix the problems identified. Original PROD reasoning was "''No [[WP:RS|sources]] or other evidence of [[WP:N|notability]].''" [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 03:48, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
*'''Procedural keep:''' AfD is not a cleanup tag. [[User:Maury Markowitz|Maury Markowitz]] ([[User talk:Maury Markowitz|talk]]) 12:38, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' A Google Books search reveals enough sources to establish notability. --[[User:Pontificalibus|<
*'''Comment'''. It needs to be noted that the "book" with this title found by a Google Books search is a Wikipedia mirror. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]] ([[User talk:Phil Bridger|talk]]) 21:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
**So, would that mean we still have no sources? I realize that AFD is not cleanup. This has been an unsourced stub for four and a half years and has no incoming links. I am not proposing that it be cleaned up, I am proposing it be deleted. The dearth of sources and the lack of interest in fixing it would tend to indicate that this is not a [[WP:N|notable]] concept. Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTDIC|not a dictionary]] of computing jargon. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 22:09, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

:::I know nobody explicitly said I am a lazy ignoramus, but the tone of some of the above comments certainly suggests it. I haven't improved the article myself for two reasons: 1. I know nothing about the subject matter and do not believe I could properly make the improvements. 2. I do not believe this is a particularly notable concept that Wikipedia needs to cover in it's own article, which is the ''only'' reason I have nominated it for deletion. I ''love'' seeing crappy articles get improved by collaboration. That has not and by all indications will not happen to this article. Your own argument leans towards not keeping it as a stand alone article, the problem being that there is no umbrella article on the broader subject involved to merge it to. In short I would fix it myself if I thought I could, I'm not afraid to improve articles and have done so hundreds of times. I don't see any hope for this one, and it is tiring in the extreme to repeatedly see the argument that somebody possibly could maybe fix it someday based on nothing but [[WP:GHITS]]. I also don't appreciate the suggestion that I have abused the afd process. I am not advocating that the article be cleaned up because I don't think it can be. I am advocating for its deletion, which is exactly what AFD is for. I have to mention as well that "whinger" is not a term I am familiar with but I have a feeling I don't much like being thus identified.

*'''Delete''' per [[WP:V]]. The article does not contain references to published reliable sources that support the content. Per [[WP:BURDEN]], it is incumbent on those who want to retain the article to add any such sources. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<span style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">''' Sandstein '''</span>]]</span></small> 07:05, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
