BOP (computing)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Incomprehensible content. The article appears to claim that BOP is some sort of protocol for some sort of serialization for some sort of objects (as in objects from object-orientated programming?) that is "defined in every programming languages (sic)". This is completely devoid of any context. What does "protocol", "serialization", and "objects" refer to? The claim that this is something defined for every programming language is highly dubious and is unsupported by any citations or references (the article actually has none). The article then claims that the "protocol" can be "extended" with "other custom serialization". If this is something defined in every programming language, then how can it extended by the end-user, given programming languages are defined separately by their respective standards bodies? The article then goes on to say something about a JavaScript library. If the article is actually about this specific JavaScript library, then the article fails WP:GNG due to the lack of any WP:RS. This article also has a bizarre article history. It appears though that the current version is not the result of vandalism. I considered speedy deletion, but given this article's nature, I thought some discussion regarding its fate was warranted. AZ1199 (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete If you look at the history it used to be where the acronym BOP was listed. The actual computing article was create in July 23, 2015 by an editor who made two edits to this article and hasn't edited since. Anyone after that was only doing Wiki-management. The actual content of the article is about a specific example of a Boyer–Moore string search algorithm. Even if BOP were a bit notable it would be merged to that article, but as I searched for any information about the BOP, all I could find was that github. To add to the insult, the github was last updated a year ago. Lastly: it's typical of programmers to list their own specialized executions of some general algorithm with a really cool name on github, but in the end it's most likely just a school project. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 08:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - notability not established. SJK (talk) 08:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:V and WP:GNG. The source given in the edit history is a link to the author's personal project on GitHub, now defunct. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 14:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best and restart later as there's not yet an acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  23:53, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
