An article on this student project was AfD'd a year ago for being sourced only to blogs and forums, with COI concerns: the author of that article requested speedy deletion before the AfD was closed. This version of the article seems no better. McGeddon (talk) 17:21, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It's a programming language on Sourceforge with nine reviews. Being useful isn't the same as being notable and Google's first couple of pages gave me nothing that would pass wp:N Neonchameleon (talk) 23:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Innovative and notable programming language, I came across this language when I was checking PWCT once joined The ReactOS Project, PWCT is the most popular educational software on sourceforge and Supernova is integrated with that product. [1][2]

  • Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Sources offered are blogs and user-generated sites like Sourceforge, which we do not accept as reliable sources with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. The closest to a usable source was the TechWell article, but realistically, this is a pretty marginal source and it only offers a fairly trivial mention. Googling turned up nothing. This topic wasn't notable last year, nothing has changed, and it's still not notable. Msnicki (talk) 16:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
