from VfD

From Vfd, which decided to keep after a rewrite:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/lookahead

This article is pretty useless. It begins with a comparison with other methods, rather than a definition of lookahead; in fact, there is no clear description of the concept anywhere in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.107.230 (talk) 04:17, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split

Someone has re-instated the split tag without bothering to leave a comment on the talk page. I do not intend to spend my life trawling through the article history in the vain hope that an explanation has been given. If I understand the request correctly then it is without merit for the following reasons:

The content to be split off is unreferenced.
The content to be split off is not notable.

If I were to carry out the split as requested then the split article is liable to be deleted for the above reasons and my time would be wasted.

When I next do the monthly cleanup of split tags (on or after the 1st of the next month), I intend to remove the relevant material. Having removed the relevant material the reason for the split tag will disappear and hence I intend to remove the split tag.

If you do not wish me to do this then there are 4 options that I am aware of:

1) Do the split yourself (if you disagree with my reasons not to split)
2) Rectify the problems stated above (and then preferably carry out the split)
3) Put a comment on THIS talk page informing us of when you plan to rectify the problem and then rectify the problem in that time scale.
4) Put a comment on this talk page explaining what you really wanted.
