Draft:CSC517 Fall2019 OSS project: E1949. Write Unit Tests for Importing assignment participants and import glitches

Clear WP:NOTWEBHOST issue, basically needs a WP:U5 speedy deletion but isn't in userspace. creffett (talk) 23:14, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It does indeed appear unrelated to Wikipedia. If this is related to Wikipedia, perhaps some Wikipedia class, then the onus is on the authors to explain this. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:07, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - Nominated too quickly after being originated. I don't know what this is or whether it belongs here and don't care. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:26, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Robert McClenon I'm not sure I understand your objection - as far as I can tell, it's not at all related to the encyclopedia and no amount of work would ever make it related. What purpose would waiting longer have served? creffett (talk) 01:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as U5 NOTWEBHOST and ask creating editor whether this is for a Wikipedia-related class or something else. Should direct them to other Wikia websites if it's not. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:20, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/North Carolina State University/Object Oriented Design and Development (Fall 2019) course created and managed from there. https://www.csc2.ncsu.edu/faculty/efg/517/f19/schedule The class had previous wikipedia pages such as Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/North Carolina State University/Object Oriented Design and Development (Fall 2016), so the instructor/facilitator needs to help students develop their drafts in that context and not have them directly from draftspace until they know what they are doing. If there is content worth saving, code/writeups on modifying a article for practice, then this article can move to the student's userspace sandbox or move to draftspace with a proper draft name. But if it's lecture notes it should be either taken offline or put in the context of the course article in Wiki Ed. I notice that the Fall 2019 syllabus does not have "Create a Wikipedia article" though like with the Fall 2016 and other previous classes have.

Even if it is for a class, I'd argue it isn't Wikipedia-appropriate content, since it's web hosting which has nothing to do with the encyclopedia (again: NOTWEBHOST). If it were about editing a Wikipedia page to improve it (as I've seen for other classes), I'd just move it to userspace with a polite note about the difference between userspace and draftspace, but this is about editing some open source software project or other, and if the class's organizers think they can use Wikipedia as a discussion forum or webhost...well...that's unfortunate. creffett (talk) 01:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:NORUSH we do not rush to delete. This was created a few days ago and there is time. It is right where it belongs for now. WP:DONTBITE The editor is a new user Registration date 2019-10-27 22:15. Wm335td (talk) 21:14, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I asked it above, I'll ask it again: what difference would waiting make? The draft is not an encyclopedia article, no amount of work will make it an encyclopedia article, it does not belong here and I can point to a specific policy that says so, and if it were in userspace it would have been eligible for speedy deletion. It's not biting to delete a clearly inappropriate page, and they were notified of this deletion discussion on their talk page and haven't engaged. creffett (talk) 22:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom and WP:NOTWEBHOST. Britishfinance (talk) 13:50, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
