Talk:Computer Science:Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms
Keep temporarily until the main module material can be re=written into separate books. I am sympathetic to anyone whose effort is marked for deletion since I facing that senario myself. The material belongs in Wikibooks. However, split the article content into suitable categories. Data Structures is a gigantic topic, related to types of objects conceptually similar to Data Bases but more ephemeral in terms of content. Algorithms also a huge topic, more computational in nature. Both ought to be covered by separate articles. The word "advanced" may be misleading in this context. Newbies need to be directed to Sandbox and have welcome guides similar to Wikipedia.

 * You misunderstand. The speedy was added to the talk page to indicate that is the problem (it's filled with newbie-spam). The main page is fine. Your best course of action is to remove this section from VfD. - Aya 14:23, 15 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I've deleted the talk page, which had no other content than a newbian experiment. For the record, there are some intro-level Computer Science:Data Structures and Computer Science:Algorithms books that are more mature (or, at least far more than just an outline; but the writing process takes a very long time).


 * The idea behind the advanced book is that a lot of people wanted to post about their favorite, random algorithm or data structure that wouldn't really have a place for an intro book, which was intended to be read in a single semester. Rather than turn away good sumbissions, they would be put into a more reference based book that could assume the fundamentals. MShonle 15:30, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
