Wikipedia link for JavE?

Hi,

Is there a reason JavE is not listed here:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_text_editors#ASCII_and_ANSI_art

?

Yes .. Someone deleted the original JavE article.
Not notable enough apparently.

I would hardly call the most advanced ascii-art editor and the only one capable of
creating figfonts and asciimations not notable , but sometimes wikipedians are fools.

I added the mention of JavE on the page you mentioned , but I really think someone should
create the JavE article , and thoroughly document JavE's unique features and provide more
links to mentions of JavE to avoid being deleted again.

Oh, yes.

And be sure to keep a copy somewhere else -- that doesn't sound like
an undertaking that should be left to wikipedians to keep the only
copy of.

One could take the content from the German Wikipedia page about JavE as
a point to start from:
   http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavE

I do not want to write the artcile myself, because I think then it might
be even more probable, that the page will be deleted again.
Hyperlinks from FIGlet, ASCII-Art and other Wikipedia pages might be
helpful as well.

There is also a page about JavE in the Polish Wikipedia, but there is
not much content on it, yet:
   http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavE

Markus

''JMOV'' (JavE movie) is a [[plain text]] [[file format]] used by the JavE
editor for [[ASCII art|ASCII]] [[animation]]s.

And here is the discussion, why it has been deleted:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/JavE

Obviously there were too few third party references, too few signs for
the software to be notable...

Also I think the article was dominated too much by the feature and
history listing.
