Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C plus plus examples
This article doesn't appear to serve any purpose other than listing several permutations of if/else. It could be expanded, but should it be there in the first place? Maybe move to wikibooks or something. —Lady Lysiŋe Ikiŋsile | Talk 07:03, 2004 Jun 27 (UTC)

- I wonder if this should be on Wikibooks, instead? I reserve judgement until more people respond. —siroχo 02:06, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
- It should probably be at C plus plus/examples (not a real link), but that's Not Done anymore on Wikipedia. Kim Bruning 07:25, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Some things just aren't easily explained (or understood) without examples. Languages, programming or natural, are such things. orthogonal 19:34, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
