Not enough coverage in RS to establish notability. The theregister.co.uk and SD News citations are just mentions in passing. Infoworld gave it a page in 2016 but IMO that not enough to satisfy [[WP:GNG]] or [[WP:NSOFT]]. [[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 15:08, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', Several [[WP:SPS]] and lack of [[WP:SIGCOV]].--[[User:Kieran207|<span style="color: green">Kieran207</span>]]([[User talk:Kieran207|<span style="color: darkgreen">talk</span>]]-[[Special:Contributions/Kieran207|<span style="color: darkgreen">Contribs</span>]]) 20:04, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

** {{u|Kieran207}}, please ignore the crappy sources when assessing notability. Did you not find any [[WP:RELIABLE]] sources with [[WP:SIGCOV]]? ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 13:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', True, the project is recent and has not received a lot of coverage due to its volatility. Yet https://lwn.net/Articles/833400/ on [[LWN.net]] has not been written by the developer group and is quite recent. Not sure if this counts as significant, though it's certainly not low effort. --[[User:LuckyStarr]] 09:19, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' Zig is an open-source project (We relax our criteria for these projects). When looking at [https://github.com/ziglang/zig GitHub] it looks like a serious work (over 12K commits, 8K stars, and 300 contributors). After deep search (I checked all of the links provided by Google search engine after search using "Zig programming") I could get the next resources

:* (1) https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/zig_programming_language/ - Four lectures by different authors in [[FOSDEM]] - (I don't know if this is good for notability or not - Can we use videos as reliable references? I guess Yes)

:* (2) https://www.gingerbill.org/article/2019/05/13/a-reply-to-the-road-to-zig/ - An article by Ginger Bill - Author of Odin programming language : https://odin-lang.org/ - (Maybe useful for notability)

:* (3) https://itscomputersciencetime.netlify.app/zig-thoughts/ - Written by an author who published many technical articles in different topics through many years. (I know, We can say it's a blog article - Not Reliable)

:* (4) https://sudonull.com/post/3683-Zig-programming-language

:* I expected to find more/better references (After checking it in GitHub) but I can't find many of them.

:* {{u|Kvng}} I am interested in your opinion. [[User:Charmk|Charmk]] ([[User talk:Charmk|talk]]) 10:10, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' - Notability established under [[WP:GNG]] by [https://sdtimes.com/ar/mozillas-observatory-zig-programming-language-usens-vrar-sdk-sd-times-news-digest-aug-29-2016/], [https://www.infoworld.com/article/3113083/new-challenger-joins-rust-to-upend-c-language.html] and [https://lwn.net/Articles/833400/]. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 18:18, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

:* {{u|Kvng}} Thanks, I vote to '''Keep''' too, Also [https://jaxenter.com/replace-c-zig-language-138242.html this reference] is useful. [[User:Charmk|Charmk]] ([[User talk:Charmk|talk]]) 05:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

* '''Neutral:''' The above makes me doubt my original conclusion. I am going to wait to see if there are more comments, and then will most likely go with the consensus. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 18:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

* '''Keep''', LWN and Infoworld are reliable sources and have significant coverage - plenty of detail and context to be the basis of an article. [[User:Adumbrativus|Adumbrativus]] ([[User talk:Adumbrativus|talk]]) 10:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
