Junior Software Engineer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Original research. Arbitrary specifics given for a position that, in fact, can have many different sets of responsibilities in different companies and even different projects at the same company. Northamerica1000 removed a PROD tag with the rationale "Seems worthy of expansion, covering various aspects of this term/title/career/position" (and marked the article with an OR tag). But, the thing is, there are no aspects of a position that might be titled "junior software engineer" that are any different from aspects of being a software engineer, about which we already have an article, at all other than, trivially, being at a lower level of skill, responsibility, and expectation. Further, the information that's already in the article may be the description of a position with that title at one company, but it's completely untrue that any of this is intrinsically in the nature of this position, and it might be something very different at another company. At my company, for example, junior software engineers have nothing whatsoever to do with "gathering information about a program's speed, usability, and other various metrics" or with "testing programs". So the article right now, stating that such-and-such is what a junior software engineer is, is a falsehood. Even if someone might conceivably create a valid article under this term some day, the current article calls for WP:TNT. Largoplazo (talk) 10:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect While sources could easily be found that use the words, I doubt there will be sources that actually discuss the position in-depth, uniquely different from a software engineer. The title "Junior" can be added to any job description. --  Green  C  12:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
