Contested deletion[edit]

This article is a deliberate and recent split from dark data, per Talk:Dark data. The dark data article 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 an IP wanted to make the sole subject of dark data). --McGeddon (talk) 17:01, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other Discussion[edit]

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)[reply]
