Weak keep. Based on the many Google scholar hits, this tool has been widely used, including for well-known products such as the Java editor of Eclipse. The name is rather dumb, and I suggest moving the article to LALR Parser Generator (LPG), whereas LALR Parser Generator ought to be an {{R from other capitalisation}} to LALR parser generator. --Lambiam 20:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There may be many Google hits for this, but I strongly suspect they refer to the computing term LALR parser generator and not specifically this software. Concur with the notability argument, and I have some concern that the choice of name is an attempt at advertising without advertising.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 21:02, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Then try this search with a disambiguating extra term, or this search using the earlier name. --Lambiam 22:05, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete This is one specific incarnation of a LALR parser generator. Although a useful tool and easily notable by counting gHits, there's just very little one can say about it in an encyclopedic sense. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:21, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
