PROD contested with no reason given. No outside verifiable significant sources that establish notability for inclusion. Yaksar (let's chat) 21:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep German IT magazine article, ACM journal article that apparently talks about it, refereed article from the Linux Audio Conference 2009 proceedings. This more than meets the GNG minimum. Read the prior AfD(s) beforehand next time. --Cybercobra (talk) 03:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The sources that you have provided are far from convincing. Granted, I can't read the first one, but the only mention of Pure in the entire article in the second one is: "Pure: A functional programming language based on term rewriting. Pure uses LLVM as a just-in-time compiler," which makes it hardly suitable. Finally, the third is written by the developer of the language and is hardly independent. Additionally, the previous AfD was a withdrawal (which doesn't mean that it can't be speedily re-nominated) and was withdrawn due to numerous attacks on the user over other AfDs. This AfD is no way a bad faith nomination; a little WP:AGF is needed. Finally, it is still the imperative of the writers of articles to source them with reliable sources, not for readers of the articles to go out and look for them, and especially when the language has such a common word for a name, those with limited technical knowledge can easily be swamped looking for proper sources. The best way to defend this article would be to put WP:RS sources into the article, rather than simply stating they exist. Ravendrop 07:55, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have access to the 2nd source; I was just going off what was claimed at the prior AfD, so that criticism is valid. Regarding the 2nd source, I believe the refereeing provides sufficient independence. Thirdly, I was not commenting on your faith or propriety, I was merely commenting on your diligence in observing WP:BEFORE. --Cybercobra (talk) 08:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I see no independent, in-depth treatment of this language from WP:RS. Would be willing to change my vote if some is found. Ravendrop 07:55, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
