Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/MOV (x86 instruction)

Since all the moderators are pro-delete, I thought I'd post an anti-delete argument for this and similar pages: I'm just a user; google search brought me here, the MOV article usefully answered the question I needed and provided interesting context. I got a little warm glow associated with knowing I donated to Wikipedia in previous years- positive feedback on a good decision. Then I follow the 'discuss deletion' link and see everyone wants to delete this page - no more warm glow, one less +1 for Wikipedia. I'm confident another google link eventually would have answered my question, but wikipedia wouldn't get the credit and the positive feedback of usefulness. Certainly putting documentation of intel opcodes on one large article might be a good compromise, or if you could move it to a sister site if one existed, but deleting accurate and true information that you already have - esp. because there aren't enough pop culture references or whatever the linking guidelines are? Only "official documentation" from the creator Intel, so not "trustworthy" enough? As a user, how very odd. I generally ignore wiki detractors since I find the site useful, but this discussion certainly highlights what they complain about. I thought citations were about maintaining accuracy, and one good authoritative citation beat 1000 rumor citations. Does Wikipedia have disk space or bandwidth problems or something? Anyway, as I said, just a user, and these are the thoughts I get when you discuss deleting an article that provided timely information. If you delete the pages helpful in my world, why would I bother donating? After all, the info in every article with citations can, by definition, be found elsewhere, so deleting all "non-unique" pages along with all "no-citation" pages means an empty disk... I really don't understand. (I know that's why you discuss notability, but what a subjective and sub-cultural thing that is. Why, you can argue MOV is one of the most important op codes necessary for running Wikipedia and the web, if you got right down to it, and more foundational than ADD or the "notable" MMX/SMD or etc. op codes for optimizing graphics. I guess it is "not notable" like Oxygen and sunlight, at least until you try to do without.) :) Cheers for a good site; I don't think this kind of trimming improves it. (Oh joy, the filter thinks I'm a robot, too.)
