Funny names of open source software[edit]
Not encyclopedic or NPOV. Easier to list open source software that doesn't have a "funny" name or name origin. -Sean Curtin 23:34, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
- I removed two entries which were just being used to knock Microsoft (the word "Microshit" was actually used, and some of it could be construed as some sort of vague threat against Steve Ballmer) and self-referential text. There's not much left to salvage. A Naming conventions in Open Source Software article might be interesting, and I wouldn't strongly oppose a move/expand to that article name or similar, but it'd probably be best to just Delete this and start from scratch.

- Delete or speedy delete. The title is inherently NPOV. --Edcolins 13:30, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete — Non-neutral, &c. &c. Also I coundn't find a more general page of humorous acronyms. — RJH 14:51, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unencyclopedic POV fork. Original research. Nestea 17:24, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
