Fantom (programming language)

(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. Virtually all the sources offered are WP:PRIMARY and do not contribute to notability. None of the rest are sources with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. The best source is probably the Dulce article, Scala, Haskell and Fantom Programming Language on scribd.com and docslide but there's no indication this was ever published in a reliable source. Googling turned up nothing useful. Msnicki (talk) 22:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep So the sources as presently composed do not seem to support inclusion requirements for verifiability, reliability, notability,etc. That said, there seems to be at least 1 academic paper that may discuss it in more than passing (for those with academic access, it's behind the ACM paywall). There are also three articles about it that I would consider at the very least editorially independent, if not notable themselves. While I would never hold the software category overall to this standard, there does appear to be a book about it coming out, which could settle the debate. Overall, it's not a strong case, and very possibly a case of WP:TOOSOON. --69.204.153.39 (talk) 02:11, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:TOOSOON. There a short subsection on Fantom in the Related Work section of http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2481268.2481278, but that paper is itself uncited. —Ruud 18:46, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
