Previously nominated with concensus to an article which was already AfD'ed and then merged to create *this* article, which sort of seems like a bad AfD closure. This language is not a notable computer science effort or product. Fails [[WP:PRODUCT]] and [[WP:GNG]]. Marked for notability for more than two years, only one single reference.

* '''WeekWeak keep''': [https://online.king.edu/infographics/alphabet-of-programming-languages/ King University] seem to think that the programming language is notable.[[User:SailingInABathTub|SailingInABathTub]] ([[User talk:SailingInABathTub|talk]]) 22:39, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

:: This reference is shallow, ''de rigueur'' coverage; it's a glossary of languages with minimal entries. [[WP:GNG]] reminds us that we need significant coverage from multiple sources in order to establish notability. -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] ([[User talk:Mikeblas|talk]]) 20:10, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

* '''Keep''':Found a research paper <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hemmerling|first=Gerhard|date=|title=The rule-based language XL and the modelling environment GroIMP illustrated with simulated tree competition|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/40631502_The_rule-based_language_XL_and_the_modelling_environment_GroIMP_illustrated_with_simulated_tree_competition|journal=Functional Plant Biology|volume=|pages=9,10|via=researchgate}}</ref> that has received considerable citations and a couple sites like [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8508368| ycombinator] and [https://www.ithistory.org/resource/xl-programming-language| IT History Society] that suggests there was at-least some academic interest in it. However, it might be better to have a condensed and brief article. [[User:Wikishagnik|Wikishagnik]] ([[User talk:Wikishagnik|talk]]) 14:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

** Both of the links you offer are 404. Was there a typo in ... both? ycombinator is just a forum, so I don't think it's [[WP:RS]]. I find [https://www.ithistory.org/resource/xl-programming-language this link] over at the ITHistory site, but it's shallow, ''de regeur'' coverage and I don't think the three sentences it contains establish notability. -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] ([[User talk:Mikeblas|talk]]) 00:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
