::*You mean as a course text? Do you have a source for this? [[User:Dylanfromthenorth|Dylanfromthenorth]] ([[User talk:Dylanfromthenorth|talk]]) 20:01, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
:::* Yes, as textbook. I know in person about 5 places that use it, but it is often easy to google the places where it is mentioned. Not sure that a list of links would be appropriate though. --Eli Barzilay 20:07, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
:::* The following page https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki/Courses-using-Racket documents several courses that use it. For example, see the [http://www.ugrad.cs.ubc.ca/~cs311/current/_syllabus.php CS 311 syllabus] at UBC -- [[User:Takikawa|Takikawa]] ([[User talk:Takikawa|talk]]) 20:40, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

* '''Keep''': As I described on [[Talk:Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation]]. --Matthias Felleisen, 14:54, 24 Nov 2014
** The book is one of the first complete and comprehensive books on programming languages that is available on-line, that has been developed as if it were a piece of software itself, and that presents a totally unique perspective on the research area. It would be Wikipedia's loss if this article and pointer were deleted.{
* '''Keep''': The book clearly fulfills "The book is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools,[5] colleges, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country" -- Jens Axel Søgaard
* '''Keep''': As described in [[Talk:Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation]], The book fulfills "...The book is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools" --- Spencer Florence

* '''Keep''': I've had occasion in the past to look for the book here and was glad there was an entry. -- [[User:Dougher|Dougher]] ([[User talk:Dougher|talk]]) 21:37, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
* '''Keep''': per [[WP:TBK]]. [[User:Lame Name|Lame Name]] ([[User talk:Lame Name|talk]]) 21:19, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

* '''Keep''': I've been using this text in my programming languages class at Universidad de Chile for the last 8 years (Éric Tanter)
* '''Keep''': I have used (and am currently using) this text in my programming languages course at Westmont College since 2007. The text is significantly superior to others I have considered. -- Wayne Iba [[User:Wfi|Wfi]] ([[User talk:Wfi|talk]]) 03:18, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

* '''Keep''': A Google search for ''"Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation" syllabus 2014'' shows this book is in active use at many institutions, even some that are not on the list at the top. It's also listed on [http://casual-effects.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-computer-science-book-reading-list.html this Computer Science Book Reading List].

* '''Keep''': I teach the Programming Languages course at Vassar College, and have been preparing to use this text when we offer the course again next year. (Marc Smith)
* '''List of URLs''': Since places that use the book to teach seem like an important point in this argument, here is a list of links that I have found. It is of course not complete in any real way -- I personally know about a few places that are not on here since they don't have public course pages, and about some places that have taught using the book in the past but do not keep older course pages. BTW, there is also a list of places that have used the course in the [http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/BookDetail.aspx?bookId=35 Open Textbook Library].

*'''Keep''' After checking some of the links, it is clear that this textbook is used in more than two colleges/universities and thus meets [[WP:BKCRIT]] #4. --[[User:I am One of Many|I am One of Many]] ([[User talk:I am One of Many|talk]]) 06:51, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
*'''NOMINATION WITHDRAWN'''. Fairly obvious where this is going, and I'm not seeing any delete !votes, so anyone passing can close this whenever they want. [[User:Dylanfromthenorth|Dylanfromthenorth]] ([[User talk:Dylanfromthenorth|talk]]) 16:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
