Charm (language) → Charm (programming language) – Other programming languages listed on Wikipedia have names which are generally followed by (programming language) rather than (language). Hannibal6912 (talk) 18:50, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Although it goes against WP:PRECISION, it makes sense to add "programming", both for consistency with other similar articles and due to language by itself being ambiguous. Jenks24 (talk) 05:24, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

The citations are a bit misleading, at least as regards notability. I have a copy of Aho and Ullman, Principles 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 decided in the June 1996, Acorn User Magazine article, "Charm or trinket?" But apparently even he thought that was a good question.

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]

Request for notability

I am looking for help!
Ask your question below. You can also check Help:Contents and the FAQ, or ask at the Help desk or the Teahouse.

Note to helpers: Once you have offered help, please nullify the template using {{Tl}} or similar, replace with {{Help me-helped}}, or where {{Help me|question}} was used, use {{Tlp}}/{{Tnull}}

I am able to provide a two page scanned PDF document containing the Charm review from the June 1996 edition of Acorn User magazine if this helps establish notability, though I do not know how to make this available to Wikipedia reviewers. The magazine ceased distribution soon afterwards.
