Contested deletion

This article is a deliberate and recent split from dark data, per Talk:Dark data. The dark data article [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dark_data&oldid=680120341 previously described] two entirely different things called "dark data": data which is collected but unanalysed (the subject of this article) and data about people who aren't on the internet (which [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dark_data&diff=680408028&oldid=680120341 an IP wanted to make the sole subject] of dark data). --McGeddon (talk) 17:01, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Other Discussion

Does the origin of this term relate to dark matter, and its parallel proportion to matter? i.e., dark data is supposed to represent 90% of the collected data, and dark matter is suspected to compose 80% of the universe. Nonnulla (talk) 19:52, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
