Topic has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it fails GNG. The notability tag was removed before after adding a reference, but this paper is written by the language author (Martin Carlisle) Charmk (talk) 05:26, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This book about the language is published using (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform) - No notable publisher, and can't be used for notability. Charmk (talk) 05:34, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry? Now not only topics have to be notable, but so do the publishers of any references? When did that happen? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:33, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's a misapplication of the primary notability criterion. The criterion is whether there are multiple sources that are in-depth coverage by identifiable people with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy that are independent of the subject. So how, exactly, is a 150-page book, written by Steve Hadfield et al., not in-depth coverage of the subject written by credentialled subject-matter experts that (at least according to the WWW site) are not the creators of the tool? Please explain. Uncle G (talk) 17:58, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep Nomination as "just not notable" still doesn't carry much weight, no matter how many articles you AfD. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:33, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
