Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slow DoS Attack

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 no consensus. With the listing open for over 3 weeks I do not see a purpose in relisting yet again; I would encourage interested editors to resolve this by way of normal editorial actions such as merging. Stifle (talk) 09:33, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The topic on its own is insignificant. While slow denial-of-attack service did happen, the topic should be merged with DDoS instead of their own standalone article. The article also didn't cite enough sources, only citing one paper, that is likely written by the user creating the article, as shown by the COI template on the user creating the article.

Actually, there have been many papers on this, and denial-of-service attack is an utter shit-show of an article. They don't use Cambiaso's name for this, and both this article and the Enrico Cambiaso article are examples of why it is pretty much never a good idea to come to Wikipedia to write about onesself. (vide User:Uncle G/On notability#Writing about subjects close to you)
The basic introduction to such a topic should not focus upon Cambiaso, or start with who-coined-a-name. It's a type of DoS attack, which can be found discussed in the literature, which has had about a decade to study detection and mitigation strategies and document tools, under names such as a "slow rate (D)DoS attack" or "slow request/slow response attacks" or "slow-running (D)DoS attack". I'll give you three uses of these names, just for starters.
In short, Enrico Cambiaso writing about xyrself is exactly the wrong way to write a stub on this.

Draftiify (or merge: if their is a volunteer) : The immediate point I'd note is how quick people seemed to be to nominate for deletion and notability judgements while failing to provide help links totally against the spirit of WP:DONTBITETHENEWBIES. Should have been draftified with Enrico.cambiaso pointed to appropriate help, e.g. WP:TEAHOUSE. I'd also note the nom. is urging for Merge rather than deletion and AfD is not really the place to go to propose a merge. 11:00, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
