detecting HTML5

The first paragraph was fluff, the rest was basically a promotional guide for a software library to do the task. It wasn't actually about the title at all, and there wasn't anything article-like there at all. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 18:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

oh so you were the admin who wiped it out. my bad i thought you actually did the writing. Sure it was flawed, but the fact that you handle flawed articles with DELETION straight out is pretty messed up. Why can't you offer feedback instead of hitting the delete button? You realize someone put hours of work into that and this means they are highly disenchanted to spending more time to make wikipedia a worthwhile resource. --Paul.irish (talk) 19:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We use deletion when the flaws in the article run so deep that we'd be better off without it. For example, a press release would need to be completely rewritten to make it into an article. The page that was deleted was similar. The Wikipedia:Deletion policy goes into detail on this. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 20:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
