::: Look the first sentence is an unsourced definition. I'm undable to find a book that gives that def. How do you expect an article to be written based on that? We should salvage the rest of it, i.e. the notions of boxing, unboxing and autoboxing. "Not general enough" can mean a number of different things here, like being too Java-focused, but that's a different matter that can be addressed later. The title should describe the article's contents, not some ideal notion that ''you'' think we should have an article on, but for which there are no (obvious) sources.

:The article doesn't need to have a concrete definition, unlike math articles, say. This is especially the case for computer science articles. Besides the one example I cited above, there are many more such examples. "The title should describe the article's contents". No, you got this all wrong. The article content must follow the title of the article; not the other way around. I also didn't propose the article materials to be deleted. That it is hard to definite isn't a good excuse for narrowing the scope of the article (that's basically the proposal your made) nor abandoning it at all. It's much harder to define, as a way of comparison, [[Object (computer science)]]. -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] ([[User talk:TakuyaMurata|talk]]) 11:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

{{requested move/dated|Boxing (computer science)}}
[[:Object type (object-oriented programming)]] → {{no redirect|Boxing (computer science)}} – The current title is just terrible, it is nowhere in the article and has no sources using the term. Looking at incoming links they are either from the data types template under "related topics", or to the sections boxing or autoboxing. Looking at [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/redirectviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&sort=views&direction=1&view=list&page=Object%20type%20(object-oriented%20programming)] the redirect [[Boxing (computer science)]] gets 62 pageviews by itself compared to the this page's 250, out of a total 406. Boxing adequately describes the article; unboxing and autoboxing are derived terms so in the interest of concision do not need to be in the title.
