Chef (programming language)

The article doesn't cite any references other than external links with dubious reliability. The article also appears to be original research, and in a somewhat non-encyclopaedic style. Topperfalkon (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Esoteric programming language. I'm happy to do the merge if the closer pings my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect for all the reasons listed by the nominator. besieged^talk 19:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~. No evidence of encyclopedic relevance found, in particular a lack of coverage in reliable sources. --Michig (talk) 21:21, 7 December 2012 (UTC) Changing to Redirect to Esoteric programming language given the Cozens ref below, with perhaps a minimal merge (e.g. noting its creator)). --Michig (talk) 20:34, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article was previously discussed, but not (correctly) nominated, during Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esoteric programming languages, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ook! programming language and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Morgan-Mar. —Ruud 14:02, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete This is probably the least notable of the esoteric programming languages we still have articles on. Doesn't pass our standard for reliable sourcing anymore and no-one seems to have (bothered to) find or add sources, or improve the article in any other way, since the AfD 6 years ago. I oppose a merge with Esoteric programming languages in whole. If it doens't pass our standards for sourcing as a stand-alone article it won't pass our standards for sourcing when part of another article. Worse, it would skew the balance of Esoteric programming languages too much. Use of this as a small example in a rewritten version might be acceptable. —Ruud 14:02, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What you say is true. My intended merger would not include the extended example. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect The Chef language has an interpreter in Perl on CPAN as Acme::Chef and the language is described in Simon Cozen's book "Advanced Perl Programming" [1]. These and the primary references are probably not enough for notability for a stand-alone article, but are certainly enough for a section in the Esoteric programming languages article. I agree with Ruud that an abbreviated program example is best. Mark viking (talk) 23:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
