Comprehensive list of Threats to Authentication Procedures and Data
Title says it all. A list containing no encyclopaedic content of any type Nuttah68 18:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * delete looks like the table of contents from someone's OR project, delete as per nom Pete.Hurd 18:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)


 * do not delete - this is an original work, approximately 36 hours in the making, and the only known and comprehensive list of its kind in existence. It's not from anywhere else or any project (not sure what "OR project" means?). Cnd 19:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. OR is original research. The amount of time spent does not make the list any more encyclopaedic. It is still a list with no content. Nuttah68 19:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * do not delete - this is an original list, approximately 36 hours in the making, and the only known and comprehensive list of its kind in existence. It's not from anywhere else or any project - as my initial "Edit Summary" explained - this is valuable knowledge accumulated from decades of experience.


 * Hi Cnt, I do not wish to discourage you from discussing this further here, but please limit yourself to one delete or keep/do not delete vote-like contribution in these discussions. Discuss all you want, but quasi-vote just once. Pete.Hurd 00:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Every item on this list already has on or more Wikipedia entries devoted to it - eg - [Trojan horse (computing)] - it is my intention to link every item in my list to the appropriate Wikipedia entry to ultimately create a master "table of contents" to which everyone can refer when they are investigating any one of these threats (in order to see where the individual threats fit into the "big picture")

This linkage will take substantial amounts of time (days) - but I beleive the end result will be a valuable resource for the world of computer security Cnd 19:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. At best, reproduces Category:Malware. Tevildo 19:18, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Malware is item 1.1.2 in the list - there's 100 or so other things that are not Malware listed.

This is the point of this list - when people who are looking at Malware need to know anything about similar threats, this list is the only thing in existence that can show them what other things are potential problems, and how malware fits into the scheme of this topic.

Forgive me if I'm not following "delete prevention" protocol - I've not added a page before. Cnd 19:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

How do pages get assigned to categories? This belongs in "Computer security" Cnd 19:33, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete author admits it's original research. Put it on a webpage or something, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Danny Lilithborne 01:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete from Wikipedia, post on Geocities or any other freely available website. Good list, wrong place. ~ trialsanderrors 05:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as original research. This is a very nice outline, though. If you decide to put it on the web, consider alerting people at sites with similar purposes of its existence. If they deem it appropriate, they can link to your site, and then it will be able to serve its purpose. Also, when it goes to its new location, consider linking to appropriate reference sites with further information about each of these things. Then the page can serve as a nice reference index for computer threats, which I think would be more useful to the general population than a list. GassyGuy 11:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Move to Wikibooks - useful info that should not be lost. BlueValour 02:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
