 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. In the absence of any interest from a WikiProject, I don't see the point in shoving it off into some subpage somewhere that no one will use. If anyone actually wants to make some use of this, I am happy to undelete upon request. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:52, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Virus Information Table

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was seemingly created by a bot or script run by someone who is no longer active on Wikipedia. The article is outdated in multiple ways, including old taxonomic names and missing taxa, and because of its length, it is not feasible to update it manually, so it is stuck in a state of chronic outdatedness.

 * Move to a project page. This raw information could certainly be useful, but holy crap this page is huge and unmaintained. It doesn't clearly have a subject that isn't covered by other virology-related articles (list of viruses, virus, etc) jp×g 05:30, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Make a Sub-page of project page, IF they want it. Otherwise, Delete.  Looks like an abandoned class project or paper, but now dated and getting more so every year.  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 18:22, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Move This shouldn't be in article space. Possibly, it could be a template. Does anyone really find it useful though? Natureium (talk) 20:56, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is used for anything but some of the information may be usable if this article were rewritten in some way. Velayinosu (talk) 01:46, 2 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete I see no benefit to readers to retain this completely disorganized page with almost no real information. I don't think moving it to the Microbiology Wikiproject (which seems moribund in any event) would provide any benefit since the information does not appear useful except as an overly-long list of every virus the original author could find.
