Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Computing

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Computing. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Computing|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Computing. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Delete - Apart from what you mentioned, this also seems to fail WP:QUAL in my eyes. Furthermore, a quick online search seems to yield results that are essentially copies of the Wikipedia article, so this probably fails WP:GNG as you already mentioned. Oakchris1955 (talk) 09:18, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Andrés Blanco Ferro

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not yet notable per WP:BIO. No significant coverage found in a WP:BEFORE search from reliable, independent sources. His career seems to have got off to a fine start, and he's had routine coverage from his local newspaper La Región about his company, but the coverage available from RS is just passing mentions. There's also rather a lof of what appears to be paid placement in unreliable sources like deradios.com. Conflict of interest is evident from article creator's repeated uploads of selfies and social media photos as "own work", and laser focus on Blanco Ferro, with a few articles already deleted on obscure awards that he's received: see also WP:Articles for deletion/Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani (Spain), Order of Defence Merit (Cliponie) and Wikinews:Five Galicians Making Significant Contributions to Artificial Intelligence.

Text generated by a large language model or similar AI technology has been collapsed in line with the relevant guideline and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I want to thank you for the review and I understand the importance of complying with the relevance policies, especially WP:BIO and WP:BEFORE. It's true that there may still be debate about whether the available coverage reaches the level of "significant" required by Wikipedia, but I think it's important to point out that there are indeed mentions and articles at the regional, national, and even European levels, not just local or passing references. Even so, I accept that some of this coverage may not be as in-depth as the encyclopedia requires, and that's why it may raise reasonable concerns.

I also acknowledge that I have made some mistakes, especially regarding potential conflicts of interest and the inappropriate use of material from social media or sources that don't fully meet the reliability criteria. I appreciate the community pointing this out, because this is precisely what demonstrates why Wikipedia is so valuable: together we can identify errors, correct them, and improve the content to ensure it complies with the policies.

My intention is to continue adhering to the guidelines, providing only verifiable information from reliable sources, and to help ensure that the article—if it is ultimately retained—reflects all existing coverage in an encyclopedic and neutral manner. Thank you again for your time and analysis. Goldenking14 (talk) 06:47, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I looked at this in terms of WP:EVENT and WP:ORG. I do not find any notability criteria for conferences (other than WP:GNG). This is a long-standing conference with an international scope and over 890 published proceeding papers. To find sources, I found it best to search on "rewriting techniques conference" - it does appear that term order changes the results. I only found one article about the conference. Mostly I found articles/chapters from the conferences themselves. I will cycle back to see if anyone has a clear idea on the notability criteria for this type of event.

Delete per above discussion on WT:CHESS. The Chess Programming Wiki isn't a reliable source to be copied from. Most of the sources are primary (e.g. what he did, what he published) and the independent ones have little SIGCOV about him. HurricaneZeta^C 19:34, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The book notes: "Thunderobot Technologies is a reputable Chinese company that specializes in esports ardware and software. Popular apparatus and instruments provided by Thunder-obot include esports notebooks, esports desktops, and other esports peripherals. The mission of the company is to "Allow every player to have an extreme game experi-ence." In 2014, Thunderobot Technology secured its A round funding of 5 million ... As a result, Thunderobot has attracted 4 Dongjia investors with a total investment of 4.715 million RMB (accounting for 3.13% of the total shares) and ten little Dongjia investors with a total investment of 285,000 RMB (accounting for 0.19% of the total shares). After this equity-based crowdfunding financing, Thunderobot Technology successfully raised 15 million RMB and the company's value has increased from 135 million RMB to 150 million RMB. The success of this equity-based crowdfunding put Thunderobot Technology in a more competitive and advantageous position in the esports industry."

  The abstract notes: "Thunderobot, an SME specializing in gaming laptops, incubated in the Intelligent Interconnection Platform of Haier Group in 2014, has ranked no. 1 in the domestic market and in the top 5 in the world. Listed on National Equities Exchange and Quotations of China in September 2017, Thunderobot has been the first listed company in the game industry. Focusing in designing and marketing for gaming laptops and computer and peripheral devices, Thunderobot began its ecological layout just less than one year after its establishment. From hardware to software and then cultural creative industry, Thunderobot’s landscape is expanding. Now, Thunderobot does not fight on its own; six subsidiaries have been emerging gradually, making the Thunderobot fleet stronger. Until October 2017, Thunderobot’s ecological revenue has reached RMB 180,000,000 per month, taking 15–20% of the total. Thunderobot begins to harvest from its ecosystem. But some questions remain to be answered: How to maintain a virtuous cycle of the whole ecosystem? How can the ecosystem survive forever?"

  The article notes: "Qingdao Thunderobot Technology Co., Ltd. (Thunderobot) serves as a typical case for this configuration. As a high-performance specialized computer hardware equipment provider, Thunderobot’s products are primarily used in scenarios such as e-sports, video creation, creative design and digital office environments. Thunderobot has rapidly established its own supply chain and sales channels by deeply embedding itself within the parent network and leveraging the resources and strengths of its parent company, Haier Group. For instance, Haier’s cooperation with world-class computer original design manufacturers, such as Quanta and BlueSky, has enabled Thunderobot, as a small-scale startup, to establish direct collaborative links with these major manufacturers through Haier’s network. Simultaneously, relying on Haier’s strong resource endorsement, Thunderobot has efficiently developed independent networks by leveraging the paths provided by venture capital firms such as Zihui Ventures and SAIF Partners. It has established stable alliance relationships with companies like Tongfang Information and Compal Electronics and has built a professional gaming platform called “Shenyou Network,” thereby constructing an independent value network centered on itself. Additionally, Thunderobot has adopted exploratory strategies, continuously innovating its products and upgrading its technologies. By delving into the gaming laptop market and building an e-sports ecosystem, the company has achieved sustained business growth and high entrepreneurial performance."

  From Google Translate: "Based on theoretical sampling, taking Haier Group's incubation of Thunderobot as a typical case, this study uses grounded theory to conduct exploratory research and extracts five main categories: parent company incubation, R&D team building, business model formation, fission motivation generation, and new enterprise generation. On this basis, an incubation-based fission entrepreneurship theoretical model covering the above five elements is constructed. Furthermore, the main characteristics of incubation-based fission entrepreneurship are identified from aspects such as the role of the parent company, the impact of new businesses, and entrepreneurial driving factors."

  From Google Translate: ""Thunderobot" is a typical example of a company incubated within Haier. Three post-80s employees working at Haier identified user pain points in the gaming sector and founded Thunderobot. Haier's innovation and entrepreneurship platform provided Thunderobot with comprehensive investment incubation and related support services throughout the entire process. The company produced its first product in just six months, achieved sales exceeding 200 million yuan in its second year, and successfully listed on the New Third Board in its third year, creating the "Thunderobot speed." Secondly, it broke away from the parent company's incubation model."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Thunderobot (Chinese: 雷神公司) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Medical data breach

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is out of date (someone has helpfully made a decent point about medical AI but that's the only real change since about 2015) and largely replicates information in data breach and List_of_data_breaches Joe (talk) 14:31, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Pretty much the same as a data breach, this doesn't have much about why "medical data" is different than other data, then goes on to a long list of breaches.

Keep I'm certainly seeing enough sigcov about this topic specifically for full notability. Also note a procedural objection as OP's argument contains no P+G argument for deletion, they appear to have made a merge argument at AfD... AfD is not cleanup and we do seem to have a notable topic here. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:25, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I started this article in 2015 before this was much of a concept. Data breach cites 125 sources and is ranked as a good article. List of data breaches has 666 citations. This is already a flood of too many sources for this topic, and while I agree that this is tangled and growing, I prefer to develop this content by splitting this information into multiple articles rather than deleting some and converging back to fewer, broader articles. I think a good divide would be data breach by field (like this one, medicine) and by country (for example, Data breaches in India). We do not currently have categories for such things in Category:Data breaches, nor do we have a data breach navbox. I could set a few up, if we agreed that doing so would increase the value of having separate articles.

Here are some recent review articles about medical data breaches. These both establish WP:GNG and also this field specific information is undue for inclusion in more general articles.

I am aware that deletion reviews like this one are not supposed to be a negotiation to improve content, but I can see that this article needs development to be up to Wikipedia's standards, and if I knew that it were not going to be deleted for failing inclusion criteria then I could put time into making it better. I commit to making a navbox, sorting categories, and adding some recent sources if this article passes deletion review. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:15, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to data breach – Per WP:CFORK and WP:SUMMARYSTYLE, this is really “data breaches in healthcare”, i.e. sector-specific detail of the general concept already covered at data breach and list of data breaches. Most of the body is a partial incident list (some unsourced, contra WP:V) and duplicated regulatory material better handled in existing law/privacy articles.

Keep: There is a large amount of scholarly and non-scholarly coverage on medical data breaches specifically, and their ramifications are unique compared to other common data breaches. An article being in a poor state is not in itself a reason for deletion - see WP:DINC. This is a WP:PAGEDECIDE issue rather than an issue of inherent notability, and as far as PAGEDECIDE goes, I see more than enough coverage about this topic specifically to warrant separation from the main article on data breaches as a general concept.

Keep This is a topic that I think meets Notability standards. In addition there are many examples of medical data breeches that have also become important political and historical events in their own rights. It is worth it to have a page summarizing what a medical data breech entails with examples. Agnieszka653 (talk) 04:23, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm requesting for the above redirects to be turned into disambiguation pages, firstly to match other ambiguous number month-day and day-month date notation disambiguation pages like '4/1' and '5/1', and secondly becuase I'm not sure if the respective target articles are considered the primary topics for the current redirect titles, number/number, or are well known out of their respective fields. Note that '5/10 (disambiguation)' already exists as a disambiguation page, but I'm only listing the redirect '5/10' here for the sake of centralising discussions about these redirects.
