Deletion Sorting
Project

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Bio of a physicist who has written small chess programs. Fails WP:NPROF: he has been associated with some useful work, but I see no evidence of a pass of any criteria, association fails WP:NOTINHERITED and no evidence of WP:SUSTAINED or a permanent leadership role or awards. Fails WP:NCHESS, there are no criteria for coders plus his main program Fairy-Max was AfD to a redirect. No Sigcov or other evidence. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:57, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: please see WT:CHESS#Harm Geert Muller for comments by Bruce leverett on the chess notability.

  • 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. HurricaneZetaC 19:34, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updates on their own very rarely constitute an article. This, along with the fact that nothing has happened since updates were announced except speculation makes me believe this is more WP:NOTNEWS which violates WP:CRYSTALBALL. This could potentially be merged into the article Airbus A320 family or moved to Wikinews as an alternative, but I don't believe it currently deserves a Wikipedia article. Johnson524 01:27, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The affected aircraft are basically grounded until they get the software update. Supposed to take 2-3 hourcs per a/c. Does not deserve an own article and should be moved into main A320 article. --Denniss (talk) 01:47, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After reading the EASA air directive it's actually a software downgrade of the ELevator Aileron Computer from version 1.04 to 103+ and a prohibition to to re-install ELAC with version 1.04 on any A320 series a/c. Denniss (talk) 13:03, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Currently, the stories about this event are not too much. If this is a little event, I think it should be merged. Shwangtianyuan MAKE CHINA GREAT AGAIN 13:19, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge--this is prime for being an update on the A320 page, rather than its own separate article. Departure– (talk) 14:34, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge & delete Merge to A320. Not significant for separate article.

Keep: Are you sure you nominated the right article? WP: EVENT does not apply here -- that is a guideline more commonly used for events that might appear on the news, such as natural disasters, crimes, etc. WP: NJOURNALS is the correct guideline to apply here, and PLDI plainly meets that criteria per Caleb's remarks.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

      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."

Vol. 13, no. 7. pp. 972–979. Retrieved 2025-11-27 – via CQVIP.

      The abstract notes: "基于理论抽样,以海尔集团孵化雷神公司为典型案例,运用扎根理论方法进行探索性挖掘,提炼出母体企业孵化、研发团队组建、商业模式形成、裂变动机产生和新创企业生成5个主范畴,在此基础上构建出涵盖以上5个要素的孵化型裂变创业理论模型,并从母体企业作用、新创业务影响、创业驱动因素等方面进一步识别了孵化型裂变创业的主要特征。"

      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."

      The book notes: "“雷神”是海尔内部孵化的典型代表，在海尔工作的三个“80后”发现游戏本领域的用户痛点并创业成立雷神公司，海尔双创平台对雷神公司提供了全流程全方位的投资孵化以及相关配套服务。该公司只用了半年时间产出第一款产品，创业第二年销售额就超过2亿元，创业第三年成功挂牌新三板，创造了“雷神”速度。二是脱离母体孵化模式。"

      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

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]

On the grounds of SIGCOV it does... On the grounds of GNG it does... It doesn't appear to be excluded by WP:NOT... On what grounds do you say that it simply doesn't? I have a hard time imagining any such argument to be simple given the circumstances I just laid out. Also note that you have voted delete not merge. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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.
