Merge and Redirect to C programming language#Related_languages. CIL (C Intermediate Language) is at least slightly notable. The article already links to a paper published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and searching Google Books/Scholar reveals a few other sources which also mention it. I concur with the nom in not seeing sufficient notability for a entire article about this language, but there are enough WP:RS to properly cite a paragraph describing this variant of C in C programming language#Related_languages. --Mike Agricola (talk) 18:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to C programming language#Uses. (merge to C programming language#Related_languages would be OK, too). The C Intermediate Language is verifiable and is one of the subjects of an article on low-level semantics. But I've been unable to find multiple in-depth reliable sources needed to pass general notability guidelines WP:GNG. As a verifiable and somewhat notable topic, we should strive to preserve the information, per WP:PRESERVE and Mike Agricola's suggestion of a merge is a good one. C-based intermediate languages are mentioned in C programming language#Uses so I'd have a preference for that section, but agree that C programming language is the right target article for the merge. --Mark viking (talk) 19:23, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to George Necula, who is the researcher behind all this. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:46, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
