The result was delete. The one "keep" does not identify reliable sources about the topic, which is an insurmountable problem in view of WP:V. Sandstein 17:13, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Diagramming software

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

Ill-defined list that's never been otherwise since its creation in 2004. Functionally a spam magnet list of software, redundant with category:Diagramming software; I removed the spam magnet sections (one was half inline links) and there's hardly anything else to the article. Tagged as such since 2012. PROD was removed, though without the editor doing anything to fix the problems. This article is not useful and attracts spammers. If there is a useful article at this title, I strongly suspect WP:TNT would be needed first; those who feel this is a "keep", I urge you to convince by editing it to demonstrate another path out of its present problems, because waiting for others to fix it hasn't worked.

Delete. There's really not much content here to lose, and it looks like everything of use here can be found via the category. - MrOllie (talk) 14:41, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. This is a notable subject that could be expanded on. Surely there are scholarly papers or articles from the early days of graphics programming that would give insight into the theories behind this type of application. --George100 (talk) 08:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- If you have actual sources that would do the job, then by all means! But you appear to be positing hypothetical sources that might exist - David Gerard (talk) 10:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
