From Cleanup: Social organization of cyberspace POV / original research

  • This listing was moved from Cleanup by SimonP, but he currently has no opinion on whether it should be deleted.
  • delete with extreme prejudice. Lefty 15:09, 2004 Apr 24 (UTC)
  • keep, and keep on Cleanup -- interesting topic, important part of sociology of cyberspace/computer-mediated communications studies, lots of material that could be included in those/used, but also some parts that really need cleanup. -- till we *) 17:24, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • (No vote) Good topic. Good table of contents. But casually written, POV, original, and not very good. Serious suggestion: keep all the headings and delete all the actual text? Dpbsmith 18:20, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Personal essay (see This concludes my biased diatribe on the nature of the social structure of the internet in the last paragraph). Move salvagable content into social software which is still a stub article. Social Software is the more generally accepted term in my experience. Rossami 18:46, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Personal essay. Copy section headings and page history to social software and delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 16:20, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, but save headers in social software as a stub article. This is a valuable topic, but requires an academically sound and more well informed re-edit before it can be used as an acceptable article. While the overall concept of there being a new social structure in cyberspace that ought to be analyzed is good, the analysis of that concept provided by this article could stand much improvement.Scott P. 18:23, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Too badly written. 152.42.147.64 07:05, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC) Non-vote because voter does not have a username. Guanaco 22:03, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Argh -- moving "social organization of cyberspace" into "social software" doesn't sound right. The social structure of cyberspace isn't a subconcept of social software (at least not in the sense I'm familiar with the terms). -- till we *) 13:51, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately on votes for deletion there is only a short period of time in which to make a decision about what should happen to the article in question, and in this case a merge with social software seemed to be the group decision within the time limit allowed. If you disagree with this, you are welcome to alter it but please don't go against the consensus and reinstate the old article. -- Graham  :) | Talk 13:54, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
