- Aurora (programming language) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Non-notable programming language software per WP:SOFTWARE; tone is slightly advert-ish. The software is still in beta; Google for Aurora "Ionic Wind Software" finds only trivial mentions of this program on download sites and discussion groups. [1] There is likely to be a conflict of interest here - all of the major changes to the article content have been by accounts or IPs whose only edits are to this article.

I don't understand why this article should be deleted on the say-so of one person? I am not entirely sure how to even start defending the article with me being a beginner contributing to this site. First of all i tried to make the article as neutral sounding as possible by looking at the other language articles and following their style. Not only that, but this lanuage is maturing and will be fully released in a few weeks. This article was to pre-emp the research of the computer science community and general public regarding Aurora. Of course to you this must sound like marketing talk and one big advert but other users and i hold Aurora in extremely high regard within the OOP systems languages and is a potential successor to C++, which of course DOES make it notable. You show me another language other than Java or SmallTalk that rivals Aurora? This has created alot of dissapointment in the current Aurora community especially as the release date is so imminent. Does this mean that Aurora will never have it's own page until you say?
- It should and surely will have its own page when it becomes a successor to C++, or shows signs of being in the running. Me, I am a potential President of the United States, but that in itself does not me notable. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, nonnotable, advertising. Since "this lanuage is maturing and will be fully released in a few weeks," it also falls under the rubric of Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Article has no cited sources except the company's own website and affiliates and a user's forum. No evidence presented that the language is important. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
