'''Keep''' Being an "obscure programming language" is a "keep" reason in a paperless encyclopedia. There is a preliminary presumption of notability here when Google generates 50,000 hits. In glancing at those hits, I saw many web pages with "afnix" in the URL, each of these web pages documents that "afnix" has been noticed.

:'''Comment''' – Obscurity is not a reason to keep anything in an encyclopedia where notability is based on [[WP:V| verifiability]]. Far from 50K GHits is a total of 418 GHits, none of which appear contain any substance that would support Wikipedia defined notability.

:::::::*'''Comment''' – Feel free to argue this with the nominator. The purpose of this discussion is the notability of the article. Once more I have not found any Ghits or GNEWs of substance to support any claims of notability. I look forward to your improvements to the article. My best to you.

*'''Comment''' – As I am the original author, I have started to enhance the Afnix article, which surely needed improvement. Afnix is not an obscure language. It has been around for 10 years and has served for numerous experiments when it comes to combine advanced functional language with the object oriented paradigm. Afnix is also part of the FreeBSD port collection. It would be unfortunate to see the article deleted.
:*'''Comment''' – The article is not nominated for deletion based on obscurity, but rather because it lacks Ghits and GNEWs of substance and the article provides no independent reliable sources to support claims of [[WP:N|notability]]. All articles in Wikipedia must be [[WP:V| verifiable]] using [[WP:RS]]. [[User:Ttonyb1|<span style="font-weight:bold; color:blue; text-shadow:grey 0.4em 0.4em 0.5em; letter-spacing: 2px; padding: 1px 3px;"> <i>ttonyb</i></span>]] ([[User talk:Ttonyb1#top|talk]]) 01:37, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Line 37:
*'''Comment''' [[WP:V]], [[WP:RS]], and [[WP:BURDEN]] are '''content''' policies. If someone challenges that content in the article is sourced, they might put <nowiki>{{cn}}</nowiki> templates on such content, and following policy there would be a time to delete that content. WP:V adds, "But in practice not everything need actually be attributed." This AfD discussion is not about the content of this article, but whether the topic is '''notable''', [[WP:N]].

:*'''Comment''' – Let's try this once more, the article is nominated for deletion because it lacks independent, [[WP:V|verifiable]], [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] to support claims of [[WP:N|notability]]. There is only one way to provide notability for this article – provide independent, [[WP:V|verifiable]], [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. There is nothing that supports Wikipedia defined [[WP:N|notability]] for this article. No one expects everything to be supported, but there are '''no''' (zero) independent, [[WP:V|verifiable]], [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] to support '''any''' claims of [[WP:N|notability]] for this article. If there are independent, [[WP:V|verifiable]], [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] they need to be added to the article in order for it to survive the AfD.
