Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Technology

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Technology. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Technology|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Technology. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Delete One of the last votes in the previous nom claimed this could be improved, but generally if you have to use the left-right scroll to see an entire list, that is more an impediment than anything and we're at a point with the oversaturation of the smartphone market where this article must be let go (the listing of phones not universally found worldwide like our old blacklisted friends Huawei/ZTE and overpacking of various barely different Oppos doesn't help either).

Advanced thermal recycling system

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a proprietary technology that lacks information in reliable, independent sources. Without those independent sources I don't believe this article can meet the sourcing requirements to meet verifiability and notability guidelines.

There does not seem to be much difference between this trademarked system and a typical waste-to-energy + materials incineration process. I do not believe a redirect is appropriate in this case as the term is too generic and searching for "advanced thermal recycling" brings up a variety of recycling methods.

Sports Mogul

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Lack of sources that prove notability. Basically it only currently appears notable for designing a couple of sports games. Specifically Baseball Mogul, Masters of the Gridiron (No article of it yet), Football Mogul and Baseball Mogul Online. As an alternative for deletion, an option could be merging the content from the articles of the games it has made into this one. If that is bad, maybe just delete? This feels like a tossup...

Delete. The three sources given are the company's website, and two links about the game Baseball Mogul. The gamespot link doesn't have anything significant on it (here's what I got on the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210830220556/https://www.gamespot.com/games/baseball-mogul-2007/news/), the gamershell link says that Baseball Mogul was the best selling PC baseball game for two years in a row (https://web.archive.org/web/20080207062631/https://gamershell.com/companies/sports_mogul/374303.html). The second article could be added to the Baseball Mogul article. Per WP:PRODUCT, this article could be merged into Baseball Mogul (though that article has mostly dependent coverage). I've proposed Football Mogul for deletion, since it has only dependent coverage or insignificant coverage from IGN and Gamespot. Truthnope (talk) 21:40, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete You could derive notability through a third party way on the games they produce, but nothing is talking about the company directly. This clearly fails NCORP and should be deleted. I also feel we shouldn't have any redirect. The term itself Sports Mogul could be a notable term. So this was always the wrong title for the article in the first place.

Keep - Thanks, I was fuzzy on AFD procedures so apologies for earlier confusion. I've now added references where these were needed; not all are perfect, e.g. Health 2.0 doesn't archive its talks so the best I can do is PLM's own blog. I've fleshed out the references from the New York Times. In terms of notability, I suppose the pitch I'd make would be:

1.) Significant coverage in reliable sources; multiple features in the New York Times & NYT Magazine interview Heywood about his work and family, subject of a documentary premiered at Sundance, subject of a book by a pulitzer prize winning author

2.) Significant award: Within the space of ALS research and advocacy, the Humanitarian award is the highest honour a non-medic can receive. (https://www.als.net/news/jamie-and-benjamin-heywood-receive-humanitarian-award/ / https://www.als.org/blog/hopeful-highlights-recent-als-mnd-symposium) - the International Alliance represents the many global ALS non profits around the world - it's even rarer for the award to go to someone who is not a medical professional.

Pyjs

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Entirely sourced from primary sources, published by the primary software developer WP:COI (Luke Leighton, aka User: Lkcl). No indication of nobility from reliable, third-party sources. Seems there was only pre-release product version, with the most recent being 0.8.1a, all back in 2012.

Looking at the references, they all fall into the following categories:

Primary source (5 of 6 ref are to the website of the project)
A single listing on an external website about a presentation the software author is giving.

For transparency I recently removed the following "broken" reference links from the page: (diff)

A link to a broken "google group" -- forums are not reliable sources for establishing notability.
A link to a broken github page (a primary source anyways)
A directory listing site at sourceforge, redirecting to the current project site
A very broken archive.org link, no idea on the content, but no way to rescue it either, but based on the ref tag, it appears to be self-published content.

Looking at google search using the project website[8] shows nothing to establish notabiliity aside from it being a small open source project with no sigcov.

It does look like it was maybe slightly more known under its former name, Pyjamas. But after it was renamed to pyjs, there is no SIGCOV for this new name, making it perhaps a bad WP:NAMECHANGE.

It is clear that Pyjamas did exist and was used, and is known about -- it has been referenced in "directory style" listings - both small and large, however, WP:NINI applies here. What is at question is if there are any reliable, third-party sources talking about this project that make it notable aside from any other open-source project with authors who are interested in self-promotion.

There was a prior AfD at [[9]] that NAC closed as keep, although a fresh look at the arguments presented, and the number of non-qualifying votes (SPA, etc), makes the outcome questionable at least.

All I can say is, I got a promising number of hits in google scholar and just a few in google books using this as a search: "Pyjamas" software Python to JavaScript . Computer languages are not my expertise so I can't evaluate these materials. Best.4meter4 (talk) 21:16, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a developer who was using pyjamas back when, I'd like to add that there was some definite controversy involved in the project. It was an up-and-coming light-weight alternative to GWT and had real momentum before experiencing a "hostile fork", described by some as a hijack^[1]. The infrastructure and project identity were taken over without the original lead developer’s consent, leading to a collapse of both the original and forked efforts. This dramatic turn of events is arguably the most historically significant aspect of the project, and one that deserves documentation. I strongly support keeping the article for historical and archival purposes, and would encourage expanding it with sourced details about the fork and its impact.

Some very interesting backstory, and something I wasn't able to track down... A few follow-up questions, based on what you provided: (1) can you provide multiple reliable source reporting on the controversy; (2) does that mean that pyjs is a fork of Pyjammas -- and thus should not inherit the possible notability of the base code. It seems like Luke was trying to claim "ownership" of Pyjs, when it sounds like it wasn't so much of a rename, as rather someone else forked it, and move the project forward without him, but he is still trying to claim fame for it? Are their reliable sources to back up those claims? It is ironic that Luke appears to have suffered from this on his other projects like Libre-SOC and even some of that spilling over in his behavioral issues on here. It would seem that if Pyjs is a fork, and Pyjammas is really the notable project, perhaps it should be moved back to Pyjammas, and Pyjs be left only as a relatively small part of the history?

@From - just checking to see if you have any reliable sources regarding those statements? Also as someone who used Pyjamas "back when" and hasn't contributed on Wikipedia for over 7 years, can you help me understand how you became aware of this discussion? Forgive the accusation tone, but it is just astonishing that you'd simply stumble into this. Thanks! TiggerJay (talk) 02:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This plainly meets WP:GNG / WP:NCORP via significant, independent, non‐routine coverage that goes well beyond trade press. The subject (the B2B tech arm formerly known as Parimatch Tech, now GR8 Tech) has been the focus of many media, with a here for instance Forbes Ukraine with an in-depth analysis of its scale, client mix, rebrand, headcount (~1,500), and revenue shock after Ukrainian sanctions on its parent company; that article alone satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH and is neither trivial nor routine. [10] Forbes. Coverage is not limited to industry trades: The Economic Times reported the suspension of operations, sanctions and an alleged illegal activity [11]. Here is the detailed editorial Vector media article dedicated to Gr8 Tech and all perturbagtions with indudstrial analysis [12]. Here is another good coverage from the tech media talking about closing, sanctions, activity in CIS.. [13]. Here is a big read from editorial Forbes team about Gr8 Tech on how they managed to rebrand and survive in recent years [14]. More and more are available under Parimatch Tech+Gr8 Tech online search [15], [16], [17]. Jungle archer (talk) 17:30, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
