User:GFHandel is clearly correct here. DuLithgow’s coming in and deciding that this CAD editor is that is not notable, as  was clearly way off base. User:Ryan Vesey made this uncanny and pithy edit summary when he  “millions of google search results, take it to AFD if you wish”. Thus, Users , , and  just aren’t in agreement here.

Moreover, Duncan’s , over the last few days to delete all manner of CAD programs from this list is clearly without consensus and needs a clear consensus when the edits aren’t copyediting but are instead massive use of the [delete] key. Editors are all here on en.Wikipedia to build the project. The way things are done here are the product of years of consensus building and an evolution of processes. Moreover, the editors active on the CAD-related articles tend to have extensive experience with the subject matter. It is clear that the evolved intention of the list of CAD editors is to make it an inclusive and comprehensive list that readers can use as an authoritative source for what programs have been developed over the years. Before deleting scores of man-hours of material that other editors have slaved over, there must be a clear consensus here on this talk page for the material’s removal.

Since there is clearly no consensus for these latest edits throughout the project and here on this list,  to the previous consensus view. Please bear in mind that consensus can change. But we can not have consensus established by an editor testing the waters as to what content can merely be deleted from the project; clearly established consensus via discussion must occur here in advance of such moves.   17:05, 14
