Job scheduler
- Job scheduler (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Article does not cite enough sources. Also borders on WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. The implementations section is more of a list than what should be an article.Spidern (talk) 17:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep seems to have a lot of references in technical magazines, as per the Google News search page. RJaguar3 | u | t 17:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- I do not disagree that the subject is notable, I just think that this page should have more sources to live up to Misplaced Pages standards. Spidern (talk) 17:29, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Keep sources can be added. Maybe the verify tag could be added?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Antivenin (talk • contribs) 2008-10-29 17:49:55 (UTC)- Unreferenced tag was put in place September 2007. I suggest that unless anyone adds sources now, they can do so when they recreate the article. Spidern (talk) 17:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with you and I change my vote to Delete. Antivenin 18:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please familiarize yourselves with our Misplaced Pages:Editing policy and our Misplaced Pages:Deletion policy. We allow articles to exist in a state of imperfection. We don't delete imperfect articles for them to be re-created later. We build upon what exists, and improve articles, by boldly editing them. We only delete articles if no sources actually exist at all, and it is thus impossible to write an article. AFD is not the only tool in the toolbox. Please read, and absorb, User:Uncle G/Wikipedia triage#What to do. If you come across an article that you think does not have enough sources, look for sources yourself. If you find an article that is bad, rewrite it yourself to make it better. Writing the encyclopaedia is not somebody else's problem. Uncle G (talk) 18:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

- While in principle I agree that an article should be allowed in a state of imperfection for an extended period of time, the principle of verifiability takes a higher priority in this case. I challenge this article for AfD because a notice for lack of sources has existed on the page for over a year. This is not an unreasonable case for nomination. Further, the content is not encyclopedic for the reasons I outlined above. Spidern (talk) 18:25, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
