Draft:Equalizer (speech synthesis)


Old draft from February 2014. It's not clear to me whether this could ever be notable as it's really just a piece of software and the only mentions I can find of it are related to Hawking himself. I can't find even figure out the name of the company or creator of the program. Ricky81682 (talk) 19:46, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep#1. Please stop trying to ignore the RfCs. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 20:06, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The RFC said that drafts that had no plausible chance of going anywhere are still subject to deletion. Am I missing something? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:52, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Note that your judgement of "no plausible chance of going anywhere" is demonstrably faulty. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:30, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The RFCs say more than that. What you are missing most immediately and simply here is the need for the nominator to articulate a reason for deletion.  It sound like you have found an odd case, so you throw it into MfD for outside opinions.  That is not the role of MfD.
 * On this page, it looks plausibly notable, it probably could be partly merged into the Hawking article (I suspect the author was thinking inherited notability). --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Like I said, I don't see it as every single mention I can find it purely the same single point that it was just used by Hawking. At best, it may be a move to redirect but that's not doing much. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It is commonly known fact, already present in Stephen Hawking (cited to ), but newcomers can't be expected to know Wikiepdia's "notability" nuances, and to know the structure of topics and pages. For this reason alone, a redirect in draftspace serves a useful purpose, assiting newcomers by pointing to existing mainspace coverage.
 * The subject is also mentioned at Hawking (2013 film) and The Theory of Everything (2014 film). Definitely plausibly notable, but with an obvious merge target.
 * There remains, on my further review of this, no reason for deletion. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Stephen Hawking, even if the anchor doesn't work. I think it is browser-dependent.  I considered adding it to the dab page Equalizer, but I think it much better that all readers learn to use the internal or any external search engine.  For example:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&profile=default&fulltext=Search&search=hawking+equalizer&search
 * https://www.google.com/search?q=hawking%20equalizer%20wikipedia

 * Ignoring the fact that you are just here alone, I think it would be better for the closer if you struck out whichever !vote you no longer support. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:33, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
