[edit]Delusional article with zero relevance to anything

No Guard Clause
[edit]Unworthy of a Wikipedia article status; as this is developer ignorance of using a guard clause which comes from the 1970s or earlier. Wikipedia is not a 'my pet terms and insider's code word list'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.6.205.71 (talk) 05:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Are a couple of blog posts all it takes to establish the notability of this neologism?
[edit]This is not a widely known technical term. A couple of blog posts using the term isn't sufficient, as far as I know, to establish its notability. And notability goes to whether this neologism deserves a Wikipedia page.
I'm tagging this page as a neologism.
First use?
[edit]Can anyone date this, in any context, to its first coining? I can see 2011. Viam Ferream (talk) 11:33, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
I think that this is nonsense and this article should be deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.140.205 (talk) 14:41, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "nonsense"? "Makes no sense" or "not WP:NOTABLE"? Any programmer will recognise the problem here, although whether it has achieved notability under this name is a harder question.
- I'd like to expand this (when I have time) to cover the exception-raising approach to avoiding it too. Many languages have clean
Attribute errorexceptions that would trap the cases described here. Very important in Python, for one. Viam FerreamTalk 15:07, 1 March 2016 (UTC)- The problem might be reconisable, but the solution is total nonsense. It seems like this was written by a junior coder. Such a bizarre page to stumble upon. WikiMane11 (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
