SpadFS

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

Notability not established. Sources include the inventor's homepage, their doctoral thesis, and a forum; the only additional source I could find is a paper in an off-track conference that has garnered three citations according to GScholar. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 07:05, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - notability not established. Could not find any reliable source. CerealKillerYum (talk) 08:15, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As stated above, this just isn't notable. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:49, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not notable for stand alone article. Kierzek (talk) 12:49, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to list of file systems or delete. Sounds kind of interesting, but I can't find much in the way of sources. I did find this article from Linux Magazine, but that's about all that's indexed on Google. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:44, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Modified my vote to suggest redirection rather than deletion, as I didn't realize at the time that we had this list. I think it's better to give readers some idea of where it's used and what supports it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:48, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now as I found nothing better than a few links at Books and browser. SwisterTwister talk 05:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is the concept of crash counting notable? In that case I would vote merge to crash counting. -- intgr [talk] 06:43, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Intgr: as far as I can tell from a quick GScholar search, crash counting was invented by the author of SpadFS, prototyped in that system, and not more notable. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 08:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Linux Mag source that you added to crash counting could be used to establish some collective notability for SpadFS and crash counting (although I would then redirect crash counting to SpadFS). NinjaRobotPirate rejected that, but probably didn't see the PDF version. CerealKillerYum, CoffeeWithMarkets, Kierzek, did you consider that source? QVVERTYVS (hm?) 08:46, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not impressed, but would agree that if consensus feels that crash counting is notable enough (and it is barely a stub), then this could be merged with it; otherwise, delete. Kierzek (talk) 11:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as it is independently sourced and merge crash counting with it if it's only used in this filesystem. LjL (talk) 12:23, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG states that "multiple sources are generally expected" — we currently have only one secondary source. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 12:53, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
