Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C plus plus examples

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article doesn't appear to serve any purpose other than listing several permutations of if/else. It could be expanded, but should it be there in the first place? Maybe move to wikibooks or something. Lady Lysiŋe Ikiŋsile | Talk 07:03, 2004 Jun 27 (UTC)

  • Keep. It's a carry-over from C plus plus. Wikipedia has an entirely flat namespace by convention. Sometimes that leads to slightly convoluted solutions like this. However, as long as wikipedia maintains the current convention, this article is relevant, correctly named, and correctly located. Kim Bruning 12:52, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • FWIW, I never mentioned anything about the location of this article, and I don't think the solution is particular "convoluted". I do, however, find that listing several permutations of if/else does not produce an amazingly useful article. Lady Lysiŋe Ikiŋsile | Talk 13:22, 2004 Jun 27 (UTC)
      • I did though, since it's my opinion :-P Hmmm, if you disagree with content of an article, how about trying to edit mercilessly instead? Let's keep this here as an extremely short set of examples (and let's get some nicer examples!) , and someone else can write a comprehensive "The Art Of Programming (In C)" at wikibooks. :-) Kim Bruning 07:25, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep: has potential. Existing text is weak but eventually someone will replace it. Obquote: "When I invented the term 'object-oriented' I did not have C++ in mind" -- attributed to Alan Kay. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:04, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • I wonder if this should be on Wikibooks, instead? I reserve judgement until more people respond. siroχo 02:06, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Some things just aren't easily explained (or understood) without examples. Languages, programming or natural, are such things. orthogonal 19:34, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
