Keep, as I am quite sure the foundation responsible for one of the most popular programming languages[1][2][3] is sufficiently notable. It isn't unusual for a software platform to have a foundation article, such as Apache, .NET and F# to name a few. The fact the article needs development and additional referencing isn't a suitable rationale for removal. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:39, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thereferences you cite are about the language, notthe foundation. Nobody is challenging that Python is notable . DGG ( talk ) 06:54, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware the cites are for the language, which is why I say immediately beforehand "one of the most popular programming languages". I do feel this is a fairly important consideration. The foundation is responsible for it. If the AfD sways towards deletion, which I hope it doesn't, it could well question the integrity of the other "foundation" articles aforementioned. This article, like so many others, would indeed benefit from additional 3rd party referencing, but I don't accept the fairly vague rationale offered.

Merge or Redirect into Python (programming language). Based off of my reading of the sources, I can't say that the two would be independently notable. I also don't think that the Python language article is so long that length would become a problem. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 04:34, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep certainly shouldn't be deleted outright; I don't think a merge to Python (programming language) would be an editorial improvement. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 01:08, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
