99 Bottles of Beer computer program
This article consists of only a list of source code. It was transwikied to Wikisource months ago, and clearly has no encyclopedic potential. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 08:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nom. eLNuko 09:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Sandstein 09:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as at best Wikisource-worthy. Batmanand 12:07, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per similar decisions in the past. The website at the bottom is somewhat useful (and quite enjoying for programmers) but this page useless. Pavel Vozenilek 15:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. &mdash;ERcheck @ 16:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. A handy compendium for quick comparison. Should be fixed so all the samples do the same thing, however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.39.32.193 (talk • contribs)
 * Transwiki Perhaps a candidate for wikibooks (a type of study guide, right?) or wikisource? --CyclePat 21:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Ruby  22:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per nom. —Ruud 01:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Allan McInnes (talk) 02:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.  --bmills 04:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete obviously. I can't think of a speedy criterion other than WP:IAR so I won't just nuke it, much as I am tempted. Guy  12:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, since already on Wikisource. —Quarl (talk) 2006-02-20 13:11Z 
 * Comment. This is in Wikisource as Wikisource:Transwiki:99_Bottles_of_Beer_computer_program, but is being AfDed there too. If you have cast a delete vote under the assumption that the code would be preserved there, please comment in Wikisource:Wikisource:Proposed deletions.  I think it should be transwikied, but don't know if Wikisource or Wiki Books is more appropriate. --Karnesky 13:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It seems like mostly original content, so it should go to WikiBooks instead of WikiSource. --bmills 17:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, regardless of where it goes. Unencyclopedic, useless.  Transwikiing is fine, as no license problems matter for a program so useless. --Mgreenbe 13:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, since we don't need to tote this encyclopedia around with us. Useful entry, and no real reason to delete. Most users of Wikipedia do not consider it a traditional encyclopedia, since it isn't. We dont have space-in-our-backpack concerns here, do we? Kigoe
 * Transwiki. Although not meant for an encyclopedia, the information is valuable. -- Evanx  (tag?) 04:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Modify, the content should be different. Perhaps an explanation of the purpose can be solicited from the refererenced website? Email with request sent to Gregor Scheithauer ekilfoil 12:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The concern about this page is that it is useless and unencyclopedic, not that it takes up space. Why not move all encyclopedic content, such as purpose or utility, to 99 Bottles of Beer? Wikipedia is not a source code repository, so the code doesn't really belong no matter what. --Mgreenbe 13:27, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep unless List of hello world programs is also nominated. &mdash;Etaoin (talk) 17:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment That page has been prodded. Feel free to move it to AfD.  --Mgreenbe 21:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * List of hello world programs has been nominated for deletion. --bmills 17:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Charming, interesting, slight amount of editorial commentary already present; encyclopedic readers may enjoy/benefit.  I see that I'm bucking the trend here.  - ikkyu2  ( talk ) 08:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * KeepUseful to see comparasons. --michael180 15:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
