Delete – While the attention given at the 2009 "Onward" conference is the beginnings of notability, the fact that there has been little else said or published since then, except in passing, indicates that this has not yet achieved notability, and creation of this article was premature. The passing mention of Plaid at typestate analysis is sufficient coverage for Wikipedia. Ibadibam (talk) 19:05, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This "Typestate-Oriented Programming" rings a bell. While the language itself may not be notable enough for a separate article it could be merged as part of an article on Typestate-oriented programming or typestate analysis. I'd have to look further into this. —Ruud 11:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, or worst case merge: There are easy to find references to the language at Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, and Berkeley. There has been 2011 published material since the 2009 article mentioned. I think this is obviously both a legitimate topic and one worth expanding. Deletion achieves nothing. Worst case, merge. prat (talk) 09:09, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, two self-published sources, one blog, one unclear conference. @Pratyeka: it's not only allowed to improve deletion candidates, but just saying that it could be done doesn't help. –Be..anyone (talk) 18:51, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
