Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simdesk
Simdesk is a real company, but this article is focuses solely on the speculation (original research) that it is the company that a series of message board posts were about. If the article is to remain, it should be about the company, and the Virtudyne thing should be at most a footnote. Coneslayer 19:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- What if the speculation becomes more important than the company? - purposely unsigned
- The article could be moved to Virtudyne, as it is more likely people look up the article for Virtudyne looking for the real company. Bernhard Bauer 19:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- We could also rename the article to something like "Virtudyne-Simdesk Theory". The fact is that nothing before this DailyWTF article justified Simdesk having its own article, but now it deserves mention on its story alone. I'm okay with this page being a description of Simdesk, but its story isn't a footnote, it should be the meat of the article. Klondike 20:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
The article posted here is pure speculation of a company that could be Simdesk. The story itself has not been verified or even researched (to my knowledge). The wikipedia entry for simdesk should first contain information only about the company. Anything else should be addressed as footnotes, or like wise. Atmostphere 20:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Came here from TheDailyWTF (although I'm a regular Wikipedia editor in any case). While I believe that Virtudyne may indeed be SimDesk, I don't believe it has any place here. As mentioned above, it's pure speculation, and something tells me that the editors here won't want to get themselves involved in a libel lawsuit if they happen to be wrong.
