Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/InspIRCd (2nd nomination)


 * Delete - Was already deleted once, nothing appears to have changed with regards to notability or references. A blog, a review, some forum posts, and links to the site about the product do not establish notability. Wikipedia is not a software encyclopedia. Vertigo Acid (talk) 00:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

no wikipedia is an encyclopedia. definition of encyclopedia from http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=encyclopedia


 * S: (n) encyclopedia, cyclopedia, encyclopaedia, cyclopaedia (a reference work (often in several volumes) containing articles on various topics (often arranged in alphabetical order) dealing with the entire range of human knowledge or with some particular specialty)

notice 'the ENTIRE RANGE of human knowledge'? for you moronic editors (all of you) that means EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. so get the fuck off your high horses and maybe instead of deleting decent articles you mmmm fuck off?

This server software product is not independently notable. A s. arch on books.google.com reveals 620 sources, but looking through them, all but two of them are OCR mistakes of the word "inspired" or words in other languages. The two sources that contain a mention of this software are mere mentions which does not meet our general notability requirement for significant coverage. Searching on scholar.google.com with the word keyword "irc" added to the search reveals no references to this software. All of the references currently in the article are to the software developers own site, not independent. Wikipedia is not a software directory and we should not become a primary source of information about products. People who are interested in researching IRC server software most assuredly have better web-based resources than Wikipedia. Miami33139 (talk) 16:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
