[edit] YIFF

YIFF (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There are only two sentences of content, and a link to the website. I don't believe this is encyclopedic -- JediLofty User | Talk 15:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete; notwithstanding the fact I denied speedy deletion, I'm not really sure of this package's notability. There's a modicum of notability in that it is included in Debian (yiff-server, liby2-14, liby-dev), but it's definitely one of the least-used of the *nix networked sound servers. Popcon by_inst main rank of #13084 is a bit debatable. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 15:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. We aren't sourceforge or freshmeat. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. A blatent attempt to gain some of furry fandom's popularity. ;-) GreenReaper 00:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I think it was. If I'm not mistaken, the developer of YIFF is himself a fur. Gee, I wonder where the name came from.... =^_^= --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:57, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I thought the consensus was Delete! -- JediLofty User | Talk 12:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Borderline G7 for lack of assertions of notability. But since it's here we may as well say "it has no notability" and be done with it. Arkyan • (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete then redirect to Yiff. May as well, if we're going to have the article history hanging about anyway. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 16:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
... after which we can remove the "This section of the article is about sexual activity in the furry fandom. "YIFF" is also a term for a UNIX sound system." redirect on the Yiff page! -- JediLofty User | Talk 23:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Included in Debian, but never caught on - the developer's web page only counts two applications which use YIFF... both of which he wrote. A quick look through Google doesn't turn up anything further - this really just looks like a project that never caught on. Zetawoof(ζ) 18:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and don't redirect. Not notable at all. Voretus 15:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
