Dubious

I've marked a number of claims in the article as dubious. The claim that Ch is used in many universities and schools appears unsupported. No one questions that it is promoted for use in teaching and that it's used in that way at some (unknown) number of institutions. But there's no evidence this can be characterized as many; the use of this characterization appears promotional.

The claims that Ch is comparable to a C shell or that, as a shell for running external commands, it supports wildcarding or iteration of external commands appear factually incorrect. Please see the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ch interpreter (2nd nomination). Msnicki (talk) 15:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To put it into context, "many" would be a noticeable fraction of the thousands of academic institutions. Perhaps a few hundred would be enough to justify that term. Scaling it down to the apparent reality (several, e.g., no more than a few dozen) would be less promotional. However, without a reliable source, the statement as a whole is promotional.

Notability tag

I'm a bit confused by the notability tag. First there are many sources that would seem to support the notability of the topic. Secondly, those sources were debated at AfD/DrV/AfD and found acceptable. Could anyone clarify? Hobit (talk) 02:52, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
