:({{Find sources AFD|Arc (programming language)}})

Lacks multiple reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by [[WP:GNG]]. Sources offered are all [[WP:PRIMARY]] or [[WP:Self-published sources]]. Googling turned up nothing helpful. Though it appears the authors are notable, notability is not inherited by everything they create. In the previous AfD ten years ago, the outcome was merge; that may still be an appropriate outcome. The article has been tagged for primary sources for 4 years.

:'''Merge''' Merge with Paul Graham remains the right thing, probably trimming some of the details. --[[User:Macrakis|Macrakis]] ([[User talk:Macrakis|talk]]) 19:16, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

:'''Merge''' with [[Paul Graham (computer programmer)]]. Most of the content is already the same. The language itself seems to be dormant compared to other List dialects, like [[Clojure]]. Few posts on the user forum, little evidence that it is being used in applications. –&nbsp;[[User:Margin1522|Margin1522]] ([[User talk:Margin1522|talk]]) 20:23, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' with the article on Paul Graham. Like Margin1522, didn't see too much notability or usage out there. [[User:APerson|APerson]]&nbsp;([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 16:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

*'''Partially Merge''' with Paul Graham, though some of it can be trashed. '''''[[User:Kharkiv07|<span style="color: #000080">Kharkiv07</span>]][[User_talk:Kharkiv07|<span style="color: #FF0000">^Talk</span>]]''''' 18:20, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' a decently sourced article on the language used for an influential web site. Suggest giving people who care about it time to improve sources. --[[User:Zippy|Zippy]] ([[User talk:Zippy|talk]]) 23:17, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

** fwiw, a github-hosted implementation of arc, [https://github.com/kimtg/Arcadia Arcadia] has >100 stars and ~15 forks, which is pretty popular.
