* '''Comment''' The article at least tries to make a case for notability. Not sure if it holds up to scrutiny, have to look further into it. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 11:46, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

* '<s>''Delete'''</s>, no requested 3rd party references at all since October, 2013.

* '''Strong Keep''' This language is used in the real world: http://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawnprojects.htm

:Also, it was covered in Dr. Dobbs, under it's previous name: http://www.drdobbs.com/the-small-scripting-language/184411074 [[User:Caroliano|Caroliano]] ([[User talk:Caroliano|talk]]) 01:48, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' - Maybe listing this deletion discussion under games category could bring people who know how to search references for game modding, that seems one of the main uses of this language, if they are not still enough.

*'''Delete'''. Notability where? Self-published (creator's website) references only. Clear fail of [[WP:NSOFTWARE]]. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<fontspan style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</fontspan>]]</sub> 02:47, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

::{{Reply to|Piotrus}}: please look at the article again. I included some of the sources I listed above in the discussion, among other additions. [[User:Caroliano|Caroliano]] ([[User talk:Caroliano|talk]]) 00:22, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' - The project is not commonly updated, but still alive. the last update was made in [https://code.google.com/p/pawnscript/source/list January 2015] [[User:Ikkentim|Ikkentim]] ([[User talk:Ikkentim|talk]]) 20:39, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''keep''' per Caroliano. [[User:Christian75|Christian75]] ([[User talk:Christian75|talk]]) 21:32, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''Comment/keep''' - The language is recognized by the [https://github.com/search?l=PAWN&p=3&q=language%3APAWN&ref=advsearch&type=Repositories&utf8=%E2%9C%93 language detection on github]. 188 repositories which are mainly written in PAWN are hosted on github. Most of them seem to be related to the [http://sa-mp.com SA-MP game modification]. I know I don't have much reasons to say keep, but still I think we should.

:: Don't forget the almost 500 repositories listed under ''SourcePawn'', another recognized language by Github, that I linked in my vote. [[User:Caroliano|Caroliano]] ([[User talk:Caroliano|talk]]) 00:24, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
