Notability

The citations are a bit misleading, at least as regards notability. I have a copy of Aho and Ullman, Principle of Compiler Design (the "dragon book", for its cover), and there is certainly no mention of Charm anywhere in there. I doubt there's any mention of Charm in the other Aho et al compiler text or in the ARM assembly language programming manual, either. Who knows what Stephen Wade said in the June 1996, Acorn User Magazine article, "Charm or trinket?" But I'm betting the it was leaning more to the latter.

To establish notability, WP:GNG asks for significant coverage from reliable WP:RS independent WP:INDY sources. If better sources can't be provided, the article should be deleted. Msnicki (talk) 19:36, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
