Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beginners Programming Language (2nd nomination)
AfDs for this article:
- Beginners Programming Language (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No assertion of notability per WP:GNG; the only mention I can find of it online is very brief, passing mentions in some fairly obscure forums; no coverage online in WP:Reliable sources. Previously AFD'd at WP:Articles for deletion/Beginners Programming Language, but speedy G4 was declined by an admin, since this is apparently a complete re-write with updates about a 2010 version.

- It is notable. See this- http://bpl.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1208778384 Previous article was deleted in 2007 and it is not good to estimate BPL's current status by that. It become notable long ago in 2009. The given links show it at PC Utilities Magazine. Which is a reliable source. --Programmingfanatics (talk) 06:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Keep this looks to me like an article where the creator with a minimal guidance could demonstrate notability and significantly improve the coverage of the current article according to WP criteria. BO; talk 14:39, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- What sort of notability did you have in mind? Scopecreep (talk) 14:41, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Delete. No coverage whatsoever in independent reliable sources. --Lambiam 15:07, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- Why, yes, Version 1.0 for Windows was included on the "coverdisc" DVD included with issue #99 of PC Utilities of April 3, 2008, and this is all what they had to say about it: "Learn to create a great program in around 20 minutes with this beginners-friendly BASIC programming tool". That is not what I call coverage. --Lambiam 20:37, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- Delete. It appears we have a case of a very well formatted article for a topic that is completely non-notable. There are no third-pary references that I could find other than Download.com where anybody can upload their shareware. There doesn't appear to be an active significant community based on a quick visit to the site's forum, even though this isn't necessarily an indicator of notability. I question if this Wikipedia article is intended as advertising since there is both a free and Pro version of this software, and the website also solicits Paypal donations. --NINTENDUDE64 01:42, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
