Loki (PyIM)

NN piece of software still in development. J Milburn 22:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what is 'NN', and why is this page up for deletion after only 3 minutes of life? --Hainesc 22:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment NN stands for Not Notable, per Wikipedia Guidelines found here: WP:NOT Alphachimp ^talk 22:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We're not a crystal ball (WP:NOT). Alphachimp ^talk 22:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but this is a valid, Existing project that should be known about. IMHO. --Hainesc 23:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment. Of course it should be heard about, just not here. Wikipedia is not free webhosting. Alphachimp ^talk 23:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Very well. No projects in planning phase, I guess. So, at what point in development does this project become notable? --Hainesc 23:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - After (a) is actually exists, and (b) a lot of people know about it. Fan-1967 00:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Referencing 'Not a crystal ball' philosophy, last paragraph: "Forward-looking articles about unreleased products (e.g. movies, games, etc.) require special care to make sure that they are not advertising." Therefore I request that a carefull eye examine the page to ensure that it is not advertising (which I think is a pointless effort for a GPL'ed project). However the policy does not prohibit the existance of forward looking pages. --Hainesc 23:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The "foward-looking articles" is about notable projects in development that have already attracted widespread interest, like Pirates of the Caribbean 3. This doesn't compare, so it's crystal ball. Fan-1967 00:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I rescind my original vote on grounds of the proposed guidelines for software credibility. --Hainesc 03:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete has your software been mentioned elsewhere before, regardless of whether it's still in development? No? Then you don't deserve an article here yet, sorry. Kimchi.sg 02:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I mean no disrespect to you when I say this, but I am fairly certain this is another mention. Quite credible as it is the proof of its existence. A Primary Source Document from a credible source [1] on this projects existence. --Hainesc 3:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete because of it is not a notable piece of software yet. --Hainesc 03:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That makes it Speedy Delete per author's request. So tagged. Fan-1967 03:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
