This article is only about a parameter or variable used within another computer program (Makefile), and thus should be a part of that article instead. Senator2029 (talk) 21:07, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You don't need an administrator to use xyr deletion tool in order to fix that. You have an editing tool. Instead of taking three edits with it to make a pointless AFD nomination that will just waste everyone's time for a week, take two to do an article merger straightaway. Deletion nominations are not the only tools in the toolbox, and deletion forms no part of the article merger process whatsoever. Uncle G (talk) 21:38, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. While this can be merged and redirected to Make (software), it should be remarked that it is merely a convention to use the name
LDFLAGS
for a variable whose value gives the-l
and-L
options for cc. --Lambiam 21:52, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] - Uncle G, perhaps you could explain further this process you are referring to (or at a minimum, provide a specific link to the "tool in the toolbox") so I can use it in the future? In any case, I nominated it for deletion because I don't think it has notability to exist on its own. And I don't know enough about the topic to say for certain that it should be merged. I'm doing my best to bring this article to others who hopefully know what to do with it; don't let this get you upset. Senator2029 (talk) 21:58, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I already gave the link to you. And the places to get second opinions on whether something should be merged is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing and similar, not Articles for deletion. The tip-off is in the name. Uncle G (talk) 22:37, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge and redirect to linker (computing) perhaps instead of make? I certainly don't think this deserves an article on its own. Dmcq (talk) 18:30, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
- Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 17:34, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There's nothing to merge here. WP is not a manual or how-to guide. --Kvng (talk) 01:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
