Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/Law of Demeter
- Article is no longer a featured article.
Law of Demeter is listed under the Philosophy heading, but seems to have little to do with philosophy. (The article itself defines the LoD as "a design guideline for developing software.") In additon, the article itself, while well-written, is much less comprehensive and generally less impressive than most other featured articles. --Conover 04:17, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)
- Some explanation of the curious name might make the article more interesting to non-programmers; what does this law have to do with Demeter? -- Smerdis of Tlön 18:06, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Not voting, just info for Smerdis: it's named for the Demeter Project, during which it was formulated. The Demeter Project was so named because it was trying to develop software methodolgies which "grew" organically, and Demeter is the goddess of agriculture. Securiger 09:19, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
- I agree with Conover, this is a good article but not really a feature article. If it does stay it should at least be moved out from under the Philosophy heading. -- Cedars 01:33, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
