*'''DELETE''' No sources at all. I tried a few search term variants on Google, and all I found was a single 9 year old forum post mentioning it. [[User:Alsee|Alsee]] ([[User talk:Alsee|talk]]) 06:53, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Delete''', zero references not counting the now removed dead home page link. The PROD contest came with an empty edit history comment, that was the second SPA contribution 16 months after the creation of this article. –[[User:Be..anyone|Be..anyone]] ([[User talk:Be..anyone|talk]]) 07:00, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' So rare that nobody has heard about it perhaps? I have read multiple textbooks about programming language construction and have never encountered this. [[User:(don't talk secrets)|(don't talk secrets)]] ([[User talk:(don't talk secrets)|talk]]) 07:02, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. I couldn't find anything about this in Google scholar, and it has no sources that would suggest any other kind of notability. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 00:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': Based on what little is known, Cl4 appears to have been designed in particular with embedded systems and Client/Server applications in mind. I thought I had a few promising leads on finding some more info, but they've all petered out. :-( [[User:Ceannlann gorm|Ceannlann gorm]] ([[User talk:Ceannlann gorm|talk]]) 17:27, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Keep''': At the very least I would suggest that it falls under [[WP:NOEFFORT]].<small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ceannlann gorm|Ceannlann gorm]] ([[User talk:Ceannlann gorm|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ceannlann gorm|contribs]]) 11:09, April 8, 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
*'''Delete''' A programming language that the article claims was "used widely in Australia, and some of the Asia Pacific region" should have a fair number of people trained in its usage as well as things such as reference books, journal mentions, and probably even a couple of websites supporting its user community. I have repeated the web searches mentioned above and received the same results. The lack of sources where they should be found clearly shows lack of notability and also suggests that this article may be a [[WP:HOAX|hoax]]. --''[[User: Allen3|Allen3]]'' <sup>[[User talk:Allen3|talk]]</sup> 11:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Comment:''' On the other hand, just because it's obscure doesn't mean it's automatically a hoax. [[User:Ceannlann gorm|Ceannlann gorm]] ([[User talk:Ceannlann gorm|talk]]) 10:24, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
*'''Comment:''' It may be just a coincidence, but the original Siemens / [http://www.keith-koep.com/en/ Keith & Koep] [[SIMpad]] was referred to as CL4. [[User:Ceannlann gorm|Ceannlann gorm]] ([[User talk:Ceannlann gorm|talk]]) 10:35, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
::EDIT: Thought there might be a CL4 language/[[Qtopia]] linkage, but it was probably just a coincidence after all. [[User:Ceannlann gorm|Ceannlann gorm]] ([[User talk:Ceannlann gorm|talk]]) 10:54, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
