Talk:Hybrid-core computing

Restoration

As this conversation has taken place on three or four different pages, I'll explain all that's happened here. I came across a User:Rpmasson/hybrid-core while going through the 30,000-page backlog of abandoned userspace drafts, and finding the draft to be plausible and the topic to be notable, I requested this redirect be speedily deleted so that the draft could be moved. Spinningspark declined on the grounds that the draft was effectively identical to a version which had been deleted by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hybrid-core computing, and as I agreed this was the case, I tagged the draft for speedy deletion under G4, whence it was deleted by Cryptic. Spinningspark then left a message on my talk page noting that the deletion had really been a merge and that the page it was merged to had later been deleted under G12, for which reason this page was deleted under G8. That page was later re-created without the merged content, which meant that after the deletion of the draft, that content existed nowhere. Spinningspark restored this page's old history as a courtesy, and I have requested that Cryptic restore the draft so that he can merge its history into this article, which he will presumably do when he is next online.

I cannot speak for what existed at the time this page was nominated for deletion five years ago. However, my quick Google search returned a number of sources about this topic, and I am currently willing to defend its notability. Many of the AfD participants seem to have agreed that the topic was probably notable or would eventually be so and were more concerned about the apparent promotion/COI fork, with the whole thing being somewhat confused by the fact that two loosely-related articles were included in the same AfD when they probably should have been discussed separately. Anyone who agrees with the original AfD's result is naturally welcome to renominate it (or discuss here). —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 23:49, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
