Contested prod - I believe that SCAR is not notable outside of RuneScape cheating (which is not particularly notable itself) and I believe there are no reliable sources about this subject, or to establish any sort of notability. OSbornarf 20:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I think it is notable enough.–Sidious1701(talkemailtodo) 20:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- OSbornarf 20:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete I am in 2 minds about this one, but given the fact it was developed specifically for usage in a small community/environment, and that I can't easily find an adaquate amount of notability outside of this (or indeed a suffice amount of publications which would convince me that it meets minimum notability requirements for inclusion), i'll have to vote for deletion.

  • Delete No independent, reliable sources. The title is also a bit misleading; it's a Pascal interpreter, which means it's unlikely to generate the coverage you'd expect from a genuinely new programming language. Plus it doesn't seem notable enough to have been included in the RuneScape article. Thomjakobsen 22:10, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per lack of sourcing/information. • Lawrence Cohen 17:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly against deleting SCAR has a very strong and interesting history behind it, and is more than notable enough to keep. Over 30'000 people know about SCAR and how it works, and the majority use and program with it everyday. SCAR is primarily used for cheating in the online game RuneScape and is the only program which has stood the test of time with this game making it infamous on RuneScape. Apart from that, SCAR can also be used for many other things, such as doing boring repetitive tasks on your computer easily and even creating games. It is a great way to slowly slide your way into the world of programming, and since learning how to use SCAR successfully, i have found that i can also use Pascal, Delphi, PHP and CSS extremely easily as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.253.217 (talkcontribs)
  • Delete as one claim to notability ends in a deadlink. --Gavin Collins 20:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
