 | This article was tagged for speedy deletion under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion but a reviewing administrator or uninvolved experienced editor (DESiegel (talk)) declined the request on the basis that: "writing the definitive Python reference text Python Essential Reference, the SWIG software tool for creating Python C extensions, and the PLY parsing tool" are claims of significance. This article should not be tagged again for speedy deletion under the same criterion and, unless a valid, separate speedy deletion basis exists, further attempts at deleting this article should be made via the proposed deletion process (prod) if uncontroversial, or the article taken to articles for deletion (AfD) for debate on the merits. Note: this template should be removed once the associated article has survived an AfD debate; or has been significantly changed such that further speedy deletion requests are unlikely. |
Contested deletion edit
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is about a two-time winner of the IEEE Gordon Bell Prize, an award given jointly by the ACM and the IEEE to recognize outstanding performance in high performance computing. I have updated the article with more credible sources to assert importance. --Blueclaw (talk) 20:53, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
Python, Python, Yadda, Yadda... edit
SWIG is NOT just for Python. This article was written by somebody with "Python on the brain", and does some disservice to DB as a result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.115.31 (talk) 20:32, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
