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.

Vertical blank interrupt

Disputed PROD, I don't believe this passes WP:GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:56, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment could reasonably be merged to Vertical blanking interval; the concept is actually tremendously important but would mostly be covered in paper books (such as Michael Abrash's Black Book), or long-since-departed blogs and Dr Dobbs' Journal website things. It's not always called the vertical blank interrupt; it might also be called the vertical retrace interrupt or various other synonyms, and it was tremendously important because back in the days before operating systems took over control of everything, if a programmer wanted to do anything with the graphics memory or graphics settings, without creating noise on the screen (because of conflicts between the graphics processing chip and the microprocessor), s/he had to wait for the vertical retrace and start doing things during that time. It was therefore used extensively in nearly all games designed for CRT-displays pre-Windows. Elemimele (talk) 12:34, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I've added refs to the article; the concept is covered by many 1980s/early 1990s computer graphics books, with several giving quite a bit of detail about how to use VBIs to achieve different effects. It may be worth merging Raster interrupt into this article in the future, though, as the two concepts are essentially the same idea, just for vertical and horizontal sync pulses, and many platforms supported both. Adam Sampson (talk) 19:36, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Adam Sampson: I do feel like there is a heavy WP:OVERLAP with vertical blanking interval as stated above; would you be heavily opposed to merging the two pages and changing your !vote to merge? Similarly, Horizontal blank interrupt could be merged with Horizontal blanking interval, or all just merged into Blanking (video). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:14, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think merging these topics with Vertical blanking interval or Blanking (video) would make sense. Those articles are about the concepts as they apply to video standards, not to computer architecture and computer graphics programming - vertical/horizontal blanking interrupts are a separately notable topic from vertical/horizontal blanking, and are covered by different sources and of interest to different readers. (That said, I do think it would probably make sense to have one article for each topic, rather than treating horizontal and vertical separately in both cases.) Adam Sampson (talk) 23:40, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure the interval and the interrupt are so separate. The interrupt is just a hardware method to execute code during the interval; discussing the two separately is like discussing saws and sawing in two separate articles. When several people have invested in creating/editing heavily-overlapping articles it does hurt sacrificing someone's text, but we should think from our reader's perspective. Isn't it better for them to get the whole story told properly in one place? A (detailed) paragraph for the interrupt in an article on the interval just works nicely.

Subject is very early in their academic career (still a PhD candidate, with only 5 publications that have been cited by others). No apparent WP:NPROF pass. As for WP:GNG, sourcing is either primary, non-independent (affiliated with college she attend(ed) or work(ed) for), or does not provide significant coverage (or some combination thereof).

AI bubble

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

Tried Draft:AI bubble, but it was rejected as some duplicate of AI winter or whatever (oldid). I fail to see how the recently made article is any better than the now-deleted draft and how it's not some duplicate or derivative of AI winter. George Ho (talk) 11:13, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Economics and Technology. George Ho (talk) 11:13, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think it's a duplicate of AI winter because that article is about a drop in funding and interest in AI, whereas AI bubble is about a large increase in funding. An AI winter would occur only after a bubble burst. ―Panamitsu (talk) 20:56, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to AI boom (despite the seeming grudge-based nature of this AfD). I don't think it's redundant with AI winter because that is about general cycles in artificial intelligence, whereas this is specifically about 2020s generative AI. But having a separate article for a bubble that has yet to burst seems WP:TOOSOON. Gnomingstuff (talk) 22:07, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the seeming grudge-based nature: "grudge-based"? How have I held a grudge against this topic or the article? I didn't think that this article would be created recently, honestly. George Ho (talk) 22:23, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see how the recently made article is any better than the now-deleted draft -- Unless I'm missing something I'm not sure how your unrelated draft has anything to do with this article. Gnomingstuff (talk) 02:00, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I created a draft, citing reliable sources, trying to contest the so-called "AI boom", but it was rejected. As I figured, trying to prey the draft up still isn't worth another rejection. If that's unconvincing, shall I ping the one who rejected my draft then? George Ho (talk) 02:54, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify what I really meant, I just now requested un-deleting the draft I made... just in past revisions, i.e. for historical use. George Ho (talk) 03:03, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the first draft I was referring to (old ID). Any similarities and differences so far? George Ho (talk) 17:19, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
AfD isn't the right place for this. Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:22, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? You said my draft is unrelated and doesn't have anything to do with this article, so I showed you the contrary. George Ho (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
AfD is not the place to discuss drafts, and this AfD is not about your draft. It is the place to discuss whether an existing article in article space should be deleted, and so the article under discussion is the existing AI bubble article, not your draft. I don't know how to put this any more clearly. Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:30, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Well cited with a lot of independent sources. Don't see how this is redundant to AI winter at all. Both the Cryptocurrency bubble and Dot-com bubble have pages. –DMartin 22:19, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to AI boom, as WP:TOOSOON. Unlike the crypto and dot-com bubbles, this one hasn't burst (yet) so we can't properly say it's a bubble, WP:CRYSTAL references notwithstanding. No prejudice against re-creation when the bubble is proven to be just that. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:25, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: I specifically made the redirect (now moved to Draft:AI bubble) becuase of WP:FUTURE, Wikipedia should not have speculative articles about things that people suspect are happening. I added "With possibilities" merely becuase if it ends up bursting it should become an article. But as of now, an article about a speculative bubble is not appropriate.

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.

Neutral comment There is an article at Benjamin Heywood about an older and notable subject and there is no concern I see regarding article title evasion or hijacking, and this is properly disambiguated. Nathannah • 📮 15:22, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's very common for promotional editors who want to brute force their articles here to use different titles with parentheticals to do so (especially after being salted); just commenting that this is not the case here for those on AfD so they know in advance and this is just a regular BLP.

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.

Pure promotional puff piece, likely generated by AI. The only good source here is an interview, which does not contribute to notability. Unfortunately, we have no room for any more brochures. MediaKyle (talk) 10:17, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject meets WP:GNG/WP:BIO with substantial independent coverage over decades, not just interviews: Wired (Feb 1997) on PrivNet/PGP; Forbes (July 1999) “The E-Gang”; Los Angeles Times (Apr 10, 2001) and Adweek (Apr 9, 2001) on eMusic’s sale to UMG (~$23–25m); Reuters (Sept 14, 2016) and Light Reading (Sept 14, 2016) on Amdocs’ acquisition of Vindicia. That is secondary, non-promotional sourcing across multiple career phases (so not WP:BIO1E). Any puffery is a cleanup Qrivas (talk) 10:33, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I find only mentions and short quotes.

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[15] 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 [[16]] 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.

Comment. This isn't at all my area and it is like reading a foreign language in the materials cropping up in searches. 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. From (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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? TiggerJay (talk) 04:03, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@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. [17] Forbes. Coverage is not limited to industry trades: The Economic Times reported the suspension of operations, sanctions and an alleged illegal activity [18]. Here is the detailed editorial Vector media article dedicated to Gr8 Tech and all perturbagtions with indudstrial analysis [19]. Here is another good coverage from the tech media talking about closing, sanctions, activity in CIS.. [20]. Here is a big read from editorial Forbes team about Gr8 Tech on how they managed to rebrand and survive in recent years [21]. More and more are available under Parimatch Tech+Gr8 Tech online search [22], [23], [24]. Jungle archer (talk) 17:30, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
