The result was '''delete'''. [[User:Nandesuka|Nandesuka]] 11:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

===[[Ook!|Ook! programming language]]===

{{REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD|T}}

This article was part of the mass AfD of "Esoteric Programming languages" overturned by DRV [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_September_7&diff=prev&oldid=75309566 here]. It is being relisted for individual consideration. All these languages will be relisted, at five/day to prevent congestion. This is a procedural nomination, so I '''abstain'''.

*Note: This article has two previous AfDs, both of which may be found through [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ook! programming language|this link]]. [[User:Xoloz|Xoloz]] 04:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. This one, like a number of the other "esoteric programming languages", was created as a joke, not as a practical programming language, and hasn't gained any real following (unlike, for example, [[Intercal]] and [[Brainfuck]]). [[User:Zetawoof|Zetawoof]]^{([[User_talk:Zetawoof|&zeta;]])} 06:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per [[User:Zetawoof]]. [[User:JIP|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#CC0000;">J</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#00CC00;">I</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#0000CC;">P</fontspan>]] | [[User talk:JIP|Talk]] 12:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' As a software engineer and Terry Pratchett fan, this brings a smile to my face, and this is not the first time I read about the "Ook! programming language", but as a Wikipedian, I don't think it's notable enough for inclusion.

*'''Delete''' - does this even exist?[[User:Bakasuprman|Bakaman]] <font color = "blue"><sub>[[User talk:Bakasuprman|Bakatalk]]</sub style="color:blue;">Bakatalk</fontsub>]] 20:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Comment'''. Yes, it exists.[[User:DanielCristofani|DanielCristofani]] 21:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per Zetawoof. —''[[User:R._Koot|Ruud]]'' 21:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Ook!''' [[User:Equendil|Equendil]] <small>[[User talk:Equendil|''Talk'']]</small> 00:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

** Was that a 'delete' "ook", or a 'keep' "ook"? [[User:Zetawoof|Zetawoof]]^{([[User_talk:Zetawoof|&zeta;]])} 01:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

*** Ook! Oook! [[User:Equendil|Equendil]] <small>[[User talk:Equendil|''Talk'']]</small> 15:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' It may be worth reading the <s>transwiki</s>interwiki list before jumping in and saying 'delete'; it was doing quite well on its previous AfD (linked above), and it has survived AfDs on other Wikipedias before. On the other hand, there isn't really much useful information here. I was going to vote !'neutral' but then checked Google and saw tens of thousands of hits (about 70000 counting Wikipedia mirrors, about 60000 with my efforts to exclude them), which is quite a lot for an esoteric programming language. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 10:17, 27 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

*:How on earth did you end up with tens of thousand hits ? [[User:Equendil|Equendil]] <small>[[User talk:Equendil|''Talk'']]</small> 15:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

***http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Ook%21+%22programming+language%22+-wikipedia+-encyclopedia&btnG=Search is about 62300 hits for me. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 15:23, 27 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

***:Apparently, "ook" is a dutch word. [[User:Equendil|Equendil]] <small>[[User talk:Equendil|''Talk'']]</small> 15:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

*****Check past the first page of results; over 80% of the results are real (as opposed to being false positives). --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 15:58, 27 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

*****: Not anywhere close to 80% from what I can tell, but anyway, the point is, it's more or less impossible to tell how many Google hits are actually relevant here, especially seeing as the top hits displayed (up to 1000) by Google are the "best match" Google can find. [[User:Equendil|Equendil]] <small>[[User talk:Equendil|''Talk'']]</small> 17:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

******* I counted pages about esoteric progamming languages that mentioned Ook! as true positives, even if they were about a different language; the test was an attempt to gauge the size of Ook!'s following. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 17:12, 27 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

*******:Well, compare a search on "brainfuck programming language" (exact sentence)[http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=%22brainfuck+programming+language%22&sourceid=opera&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8], and "ook! programming language" [http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=%22ook!+programming+language%22&sourceid=opera&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8]. [[Brainfuck]] is the language from which "ook!" is derived. Quite a contrast. [[User:Equendil|Equendil]] <small>[[User talk:Equendil|''Talk'']]</small> 17:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

*********I wouldn't agree with grouping "programming language" with ook! in the search; that's going to produce far too many false negatives, which are much harder to spot than false positives. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 14:18, 28 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

*'''Weak Keep'''. Maybe a useless programming language but notable nonetheless. [[User:Asterion|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Asterion'''</span>]]^{<small>[[User talk:Asterion|<span style="color:Green;">'''talk'''</span>]]</small>}
