Both the Qi and Shen pages on Wikipedia were deleted last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... Deletionpedia doesn't currently have them. The Internet Archive has snapshots: http://web.archive.org/web/20141211005007/http://en.wikipedi...
http://web.archive.org/web/20150102045719/http://en.wikipedi... This is a long-standing problem (decade plus). Wikipedia deletionism interacts badly with research programming language pages. They tend to get deleted for "lack of notability", failing the test of "someone other than the people involved, wrote about it on a sufficiently high-profile piece of dead tree". And the pages face a recurrent threat of "heads you get deleted, tails we flip again in a few years". Some pages have been through deleted/recreated/deleted-again cycles. Some language communities manage to scrape together notability, others browbeat the deletion nominator, but it seems most pages get deleted. Fixing Wikipedia appears intractable. Absent a wiki associated with something like LtU, creating an alternate wiki has been beyond the capabilities of the programming language research community. Which ends up reflected in balkanization - for example, people working on category theoretic type hierarchies in different languages, being unaware of each others' work. Shoemaker's children. |
