Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mylyn

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 Eclipse (software). I'm not convinced another relist here will garner further consensus. There seems to be enough consensus here to merge the content, even if trimmed down. (non-admin closure) Steven Crossin ^{Help resolve disputes!} 11:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. There are no independent sources. Obmpeace (talk) 18:42, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: When I hit the books links I am immediately not persuaded by the nom's claim There are no independent sources. ... The resultant books are covering the subject and do not at all appear like self published resources. A dilligent WP:BEFORE should pick this up. Thankyou.

Please, remember that there are no independent sources. So, in case this article is decided to be kept, I will have to remove most of its content as it is not backed by any independent source. So, if you have any sources please add them as soon as posible. Obmpeace (talk) 19:28, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Obmpeace I have no intention of being directed by an account with your edit history and no apparent provenance of constructively building an encyclopedia. Have you interacted with me previously as an anonymous IP or otherwise? Or why have you chosen to skip WP:BEFORE and have not utilised the book resources so obviously available on the link ?

Merge into Eclipse (software). This page is unlikely to ever grow out of the stub status on its own. Its relevance to Eclipse, however, warrants its coverage. flowing dreams (talk page) 05:11, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Without any independent source there will not be much to merge. Obmpeace (talk) 19:28, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure how to interpret that. There already isn't much content in the article, hence "not much to merge". As for independent sources, let me ask you something. Imagine you want to know the favorite color of a person. Which of the following the is the more reliable way of finding it out: (1) Asking said person? (2) Asking an independent person who has never met the person in question? As you can see, independent sources are unreliable when it comes to trivial descriptions of the features of an app or service. In fact, I'd like to stress that "no independent sources" is not a magic phrase for winning an AfD. flowing dreams (talk page) 08:06, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I like the merge proposal. It would be bad to lose this content by simply deleting the page, and merging into the Eclipse page seems like the right way to handle things. --A really paranoid android (talk) 01:40, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
