contested prod and wikipedia is not a textbook -- The Elves Of Dunsimore (talk) 01:49, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. This is a term definition, not an encyclopedic entry.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  03:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to string.h (and preferably rename without the capital S). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 07:37, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Article has previously been prodded and deleted. This article is the subject of an educational assignment at College of Engineering, Pune supported by Wikipedia Ambassadors through the India Education Program during the 2011 Q3 term. See India Education Program/Courses/Fall 2011/Data Structures and Algorithms.
 * Deferred deletion article does not meet our standard inclusion criteria, however as this is part of an assessment through a Wikipedia Ambassadors program there is some reason to keep it alive until the end of the project, October 30, 2011. It could potentially be moved to project/user space if the decision is to delete. There are probably quite a few other articles on the program which need attention.--Salix (talk): 07:50, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Why defer? Wikipedia is not a free host - the College of Engineering Pune can easily set up a wiki on its own system. &mdash; RHaworth 09:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is the apropriate forum to be discussing this whole IEP process? The issues raised here are far more than just one article. I see no reason why these students can't work in article mainspace, and produce good articles at the end of it too, to the benefit of everyone. However the current situation seems rather less ideal than this. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:28, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly the students can and should be encouraged to work on main space articles. But part of learning to work in collaborative environment is learning to live by the rules of the body first. This is a continuing problem I have with the "Ambassadors" programs: they encourage large numbers of poor articles that use up our time deleting them or fixing them. /rant W Nowicki (talk) 16:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a programming language manual. No objection to redirection to the library this is from. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:09, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to string.h where it is already adequately covered. &mdash; RHaworth 09:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete manuals are widely available, while this should be an encyclopedia. There is a somewhat related discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. W Nowicki (talk) 16:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to an appropriate or new to be be created WikiBook. —Ruud 17:35, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
