:({{Find sources|Simple Declarative Language}})
No evidence of notability through extensive coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. A Google Scholar search for 'sdl "simple declarative language"' returns about a dozen hits, but most of these seem to be for other languages of the same name, and those that are for this particular SDL merely cite it rather than discuss it in detail.

*'''Delete''' I was unable to find any secondary sources for this topic. There are two articles on SDL at TechHui, but these are blogs by an author associated with the company that sponsors this data serialization format. There is a mention at O'Reiily, but this was just a short paragraph and not in depth. There are several language bindings/libraries for the format for Ruby, .Net and Java/Swing, but these are all sponsored by the company that sponsors this data format. That SDL exists and that the format is as the article claims is verifiable in the primary sources, but the topic does not meet notability standards either for general notability [[WP:GNG]] or software notability [[WP:NSOFT]]. SDL is worth a mention at [[Serialization#Serialization formats]], per [[WP:PRESERVE]]. But unless secondary sources are found, the article cannot stand. --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 18:01, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' There really is no solid information out there for SDL; the only thing you can find is mostly buzz. I was only able to find a few (3 or 4) books specifically on the subject and not just referenced as part of a known programming language (C++, .NET, etc.). I am with Mark on this one, this does not meet notability standards to remain. --[[User:Karverstudio|Karverstudio]] ([[User talk:Karverstudio|talk]]) 17:13, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
**I'm sorry, did you say you were able to find three or four books specifically on SDL? If so, then it should easily pass our notability requirements. Could you list the books here or in the article? —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 19:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
** I will happily change my recommendation if there are such sources. We need to be a little careful, however, because SDL is an overloaded acronym. There is a much more popular SDL in the form of [[Simple DirectMedia Layer]] and there are books written on this, e.g., the list at the [http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.fcg/Books SDL wiki]. But I haven't seen any books for the simple declarative language. --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 21:10, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
