Fuzzy markup language

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

FML is a markup language based on XML. It has no references, no cover from reliable sources. It has a link to a blog hosted by Google's Blogspot service, and on the 'standard' section of the Infobox it says work in progress, but the site doesn't show it.

Keep An entire IEEE working group is dedicated to this topic. I'd say that's notable enough. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 23:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Easy keep – Per the sources above listed by User:JulesH, which are reliable and third party. I've added some of them to the article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:58, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to the nominator – Just visiting the Google Scholar and Google Books links above strongly suggests topic notability, with many various sources available. Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is about the availability of sources, and not based upon upon whether or not sources are present in articles. See also WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. Please consider performing searches per WP:BEFORE prior to listing articles for deletion. Thank you for your consideration. Northamerica1000^(talk) 23:06, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
