Nothing to show this is a notable programming language. Was prodded. seresin ( ¡? ) 20:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Claims no notability. Fails WP:N, WP:RS. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 22:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Ditto per HelloAnnyong's comments above. LakeBoater (talk) 23:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - this is a real programming language, as indicated by the referenced Tiobe index. A Wikipedia user wanting information about programming languages in general, or this language in particular, would be helped by this article. Kind regards, Ryttaren (talk) 14:59, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Computing-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This language (or the IDE) has extensive press coverage see g news. Faradayplank (talk) 06:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Those are not about the programming language. seresin ( ¡? ) 00:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this may be a real programming language as per the references, but what information does this article give that could possibly satisfy a Wikipedia user wanting information about programming languages in general, or this language in particular? Czar Brodie (talk) 04:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The existing article sucks. But the language/IDE really is sufficiently well known, and deserves a better article. LotLE×talk 00:09, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Please show this with citations. seresin ( ¡? ) 00:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Merely linking to a Google search of a term does not by any means show notability. seresin ( ¡? ) 00:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- R# or merge to a similar article. This article is too stubby in general.--Freewayguy Call? Fish 00:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to List of programming languages. There is no significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.--Michael WhiteT·C 20:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: There's only one reference and two links to developers using the language. The topic is clearly not notable, and it does not need its own article. I agree that any pertinent information can be added to the List of programming languages, as the language is already on that list. — OranL (talk) 01:47, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
