*'''Keep'''—notable : Supernova programming language, is a [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/supernova free open source software] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_programming | one of the few natural programming languages]], [https://www.google.co.uk/#q=%22Supernova+programming+language%22 Google return about 7940 results]] , this [http://www.taibahu.edu.sa/iccit/allICCITpapers/pdf/p468-mefteh.pdf/ research paper] provide a reference to Supernova [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]] ([[User talk:Msfclipper|talk]]) 13:42, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

::That research paper focuses mainly on a different language and gives Supernova only a single, dismissive paragraph of comparison, although it does call it "the first Arabic natural programming language". Is this what Supernova is best known for? --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 14:18, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

::::Supernova is known for more than one reason, (1) the language is a natural programming language and there are few of these languages that are developed for research. (2) the language allow writing text based source code in English keywords, Arabic keywords and English /Arabic keywords in the same program. (3) the language token is a letter and it's not case/line/space sensitive, (4) the language developed using a visual programming language called PWCT and it's the first text based programming language developed using a visual programming language. (5) the language is free open source [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]] ([[User talk:Msfclipper|talk]]) 14:26, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

*'''Delete.''' Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by [[WP:GNG]]. Sources offered are all [[WP:Primary]] (meaning, sources written by the author) or otherwise unsuitable. Googling turns up nothing useful. It's possible this is simply a case of [[WP:Too soon]] and that new, more helpful sources could appear tomorrow. But, frankly, I doubt it. It's very difficult to imagine this going anywhere. I don't know who would use it to do what. [[WP:COI]] is not a reason to delete but is a reason to question [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]]'s impartiality in claiming this language is known for anything or even that it's known at all. If, as I expect, the consensus is to delete, [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]] should request the article be ''[[WP:Userfy|userfied]]'' if he'd like to continue working on it as he looks for more suitable sources.
