Smart File System for deletion
Hi, I see you haven't been active on Wikipedia for a long time, but I thought I'd try informing you anyway that the Smart File System article is up for deletion, and has been relisted twice. I guess you may be too directly involved to endorse or oppose the deletion, but I thought perhaps you might have comments to make or know of sources to add. LjL (talk) 13:41, 20 October 2015 (UTC)


 * The only other "source" there is, is at: http://hjohn.home.xs4all.nl/SFS/ written by me and left up only for nostalgic reasons. It's an older source, and doesn't cover any changes since it was made public domain.


 * It's nice that Wikipedia wants to link to sources, but sometimes there just aren't any (don't expect SFS to be mentioned in books or other media). The article on SFS was written by me a long time ago, and I guess as the original programmer of the software it can't get more authoritive than that.  The information in the article is still accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Hendrikx (talk • contribs)


 * That source (your site) is already mentioned in the article. It may seem counterintuitive but for Wikipedia, the fact that you're the author makes what you wrote less authoritative as a source in a way. SFS is actually mentioned in books (and some magazines), though! Just passing mentions, apparently not enough to sway the deleters. But see the current article. Anyway, we'll see how it goes: two people who were for deletion already changed their mind, and I reckon there is only the original nominator and one other person (who gave no serious justifications) who are for deletion. I'm not sure why the article keeps getting relisted: the consensus seems clear to me. LjL (talk) 17:23, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
