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'''.

*Is this an AFD I see before me, a language toward the head? Come, let me '''delete''' vote. I vote thee out, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, whimsical lingo, sensible to deletion as creation? Or art thou an article of the mind? A false creation persisting to the close of discussion? - [[User:Richfife|Richfife]] 04:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

*Ah, but I have to disagree here! Lo, a language that allows writing computer programs as play scripts! What possibilites for the imagination! Come, surely you must '''keep''' this article.

*(Sorry, I don't do Shakespearean language.) <s>'''Delete'''</s> '''Weak keep'''. It is one of the more elaborate esoteric prgramming languages, and a very funny parody of the quasi-english languages of the [[COBOL]] legacy. <s>However, I still do not see the language as notable enough to justify its own page on wikipedia. The one-line description on the [[List of esoteric programming languages]] should be kept, and the contents of the article should probably be copied to the [http://esoteric.voxelperfect.net/wiki/Main_Page Esolang wiki].</s> The Slashdot article establishes (weak) notability. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Tobias Bergemann|Tobias Bergemann]] <s>11:22, 26 September 2006 (UTC)</s> 09:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

*To be or not to be? '''Not to be!''' —''[[User:R._Koot|Ruud]]'' 21:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Weak keep'''. ''Shall I compare thee to a Slashdot post?'' I mean, there was a Slashdot article and as such this is probably somewhat known. However, as above comments say, it's still pretty much esolangwiki material. This language ''definitely'' needs a brief mention elsewhere due to its profoundly unique nature. --''[[User:Wwwwolf|wwwwolf]]'' ([[User talk:Wwwwolf|barks]]/[[Special:Contributions/Wwwwolf|growls]]) 14:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. A quick search on [[Google]] shows 664 hits, of which the first 10 are from the designers of this computer language. Maybe more details on the language and it's use as a teaching aid should be included on the page. Even though odd, it should remain at least to show others what is out there.

*'''On What Grounds?''' Any Wikipedia page is deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Deletion_policy|deletion policy]] and I would like to know what "problem" that this page has that requires it's deletion. The policy regarding this can be seen [[Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Problem_articles_where_deletion_may_be_needed|here]]. [[User:153.25.87.34|153.25.87.34]] 05:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

**The original AfD (this is a relisting following a Deletion Review) was based on notability and verifiability. This AfD doesn't have a nomination, it's a relist; saying 'Keep, no arguments given to delete' is fine, but this would mean that you considered the above variants of 'delete' invalid. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 16:39, 4 October 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

*'''Keep''' 153.25.87.34 makes a good point; it's unclear what policy this breaches. [[WP:N]] is an essay, and the Slashdotting seems to help with that; [[WP:V]] is policy, but the interpreters that are available and a listing on http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net (which does its own checking) mean that there are probably enough sources available to write a verifiable article.

**'''Comment'''. As with the vast majority of AfDs, the point is that an article for a non-notable topic should have never been created as [[Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information|Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information]]. However, I have changed my opinion above from "delete" to "weak keep" as the coverage on Slashdot establishes enough notability in my eyes. &mdash;[[User:Tobias Bergemann|Tobias Bergemann]] 07:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
