Proposed deletion of Up truncation


The article Up truncation has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * While the cited reference does indicate that the truncate function may be used to expand the size of a file, no source is given, nor can one be found, to indicate that the term "up truncation" is used to describe this action, nor to indicate that performing this action has any given reason or benefit. As such, the description of the action here appears to be original research.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Regarding your removal of the PROD on Up truncation, you mentioned that you found the term "in numerous places in proprietary code". Would this have been on specific proprietary code package, or in lots of different packages. If the former, it might just be the case that one programmer invented a term for something he was doing, that is not a common term used anywhere else. If the latter, then the term should appear in some common text on programming, but I have not been able to find such a reference. If no such reference is available, the article will likely be deleted. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:19, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
