Qi (programming language)

AfDs for this article:
Qi (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)

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. All the sources cited in the article are primary. Google searches failed to turn up anything useful. Previous AfD outcomes were keep in 2007 and no consensus in 2012. There wasn't any evidence the subject was notable 8 years ago and there still isn't any today.

  • Tentative delete Not helping is that a lot of programming pseudocode uses Q-(base)-i as iterative variables. Outside of that distraction, I don't see much independent reliable sources outside of a subreddit, Google Code pages and wikis, and other forums. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 13:16, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

merge Shen is seen by some as the successor language, merge relevant info to that page.Jonpatterns (talk) 11:04, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Shen (programming language) has been tagged for COI, notability and primary sources for 3 years. I've nominated it also for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shen (programming language). Msnicki (talk) 10:30, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep There's a vast world of programming language development beyond VisualLisp or whatever dusted-down dinosaur the Seattle behemoth is trying to tell us is their bright new hope this week. Languages like Qi and Shen are important steps in this path, even if no-one builds the next Pinterest out of them (WP went after the Erlang article a while back. Can Scala or Clojure survive next?)
For chapter and verse on why Qi is significant and why WP should keep the article, I refer the interested reader to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qi (programming language) (2nd nomination) Andy Dingley (talk) 11:20, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
