Aside from a few press releases, I cannot find anything that supports that this programming language has established acceptance by the programming community and therefore may fail Wikipedia's notability requirements.

There are only 10 questions on StackOverflow that are tagged with mosel and the videos I can find on YouTube mostly seem to be related to advertising and tutorials uploaded by the creator. Alpha4615 (talk to me) 21:36, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Doesn't seem notable to me. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 21:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or perhaps better draftify The likely clever thing to do on this was to WP:PROD it first, and if that fails make sure WP:BEFORE is done properly handfirst. When I checks the old books link and I see entries such as Algebraic Modeling Systems: Modeling and Solving Real World, Modeling Languages in Mathematical Optimization, Queueing Networks and Markov Chains: Modeling and .. I am not going to be convinced by the quality of the WP:BEFORE. I quite frankly haven't delved into the those references but the article plainly isn't currently fit for mainspace. I've put a belated-welcome on the creators talk page for links to the help pages.Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:50, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Author here. I don't even know if i'm supposed to write on this page frankly I find Wikipedia really unintuitive sometimes.... Perhaps I should have edited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optimization_software or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FICO_Xpress instead? The 'programming community' which uses this language is a very narrowly focused group of people doing mathematical modeling of systems of linear equations. My suspicion is that references to this industry/language on stack overflow is mostly full of open-source alternatives. Please view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optimization_software for an indication of what this space consists of. The article was meant to be a 'stub' since I don't have a ton of time to complete it in one sitting. I was looking for more of an unbiased assessment of the language's capabilities compared to others listed on that page. I supppose I don't care if this gets it's own page or not. I wanted to link properly from the Mosel disambiguation page as well.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthonybakermpls (talkcontribs) 19:29, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Anthonybakermpls Its perfectly reasonable for you to vote here and reasonable for you to !vote here too but you really need to through the help and guidance and this page's discussion may feel like you've us at the trial in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Roughly speaking you've published a draft before it was in a fit state to be published to mainspace. I'd start by taking a copy of what you've done offline or to your sandbox; the page is likely to be deleted at the end of a week (though we might just decide to keep it). Also I'm sufficently weird to maybe decide to improve the page so it can stay in mainspace; but that might not be a good idea as you possibly likely don't have a clue about Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Citing sources (and we don't like youtube much as sources we dont). May be best to seek advice at the WP:TEAHOUSE. Your article will not be until a week has passed since nomination at the earliest. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:46, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
