Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DataObjects.NET (2nd nomination) Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/DataObjects.NET_(2nd_nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to List of .NET libraries and frameworks. There is a solid consensus against retaining this as a stand alone page. Unfortunately that is where the consensus ends. In such cases I generally go with the least disruptive option that had a reasonable level of support in the discussion per WP:ATD. Ad Orientem (talk) 04:23, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page has the following problems:

• It may be not notable(not sure about this after searching, but it was deleted because of notability last time it was sent to AFD)
• It was never sourced well.
• There seems to be no interest in maintaining this article.
• It is currently structured like an instruction manual. Lurking shadow (talk) 09:05, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/Redirect to List of .NET libraries and frameworks where it is already listed. Not to say it isn't notable but I cannot find extensive third-party sources providing significant coverage indicating notability. The maintenance concern in the nom is not particular relevant for AfD but WP:NOTHOWTO is relevant here. Polyamorph (talk) 14:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of .NET libraries and frameworks with minimal merging. This AfD seems to be well-thought. My attempt to find anything about this subject was fruitless. I found a book on Amazon, but it was a copy of the Wikipedia article. So far, the only other option to deletion is giving it away to some other website that specializes in this material.

  • I, the nominator, oppose redirecting or merging the article into List of .NET libraries and frameworks. That list is only supposed to contain notable .NET libraries and frameworks, and this is not notable. Lurking shadow (talk) 14:00, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
