*'''Keep, support rewrite''': Per [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] and [[User:Shushugah|Shushugah]]. The article is in definitive need of a rewrite, but I think the Java verson history is notable enough to have it's own article. Granted, it does go into over detail and sounds like an advertisement at some parts, but the article is salvageable enough to be fixed.

*'''Keep without a major rewrite, but with more independent sources.''' The only significant issue with this page is with [[WP:NOTCHANGELOG]] (point 4), which states that reliable third-party sources should be used. The information itself should be kept on Wikipedia, perhaps with some minor trimming if it is deemed excessive (as also mentioned in point 4).

* '''Keep''' might need a bit of cleanup, but obviouly notable. [[User:Eternal Shadow|<span style="color:red">Eternal Shadow</span>]] [[User talk:Eternal Shadow|<span style="color:blue">Talk</span>]] 00:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
*'''<s>Redirect</s> Merge''' to [[Java (programming language)#Versions]] per [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]]. The article as it is now is nothing but a simple listing of Java versions, which clearly does not qualify for inclusion. Even if it could be improved with added information about Java version history itself, there is no reason why that info shouldn't just be added to the subsection I linked to above. As is, there is very little in the way of [[WP:RS]] to expand this article with. A [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_vis=1&q=%22Java+version+history%22&hl=en&as_sdt=1,33 Google Scholar] search brings up nothing of relevance and a standard Google search just includes other tertiary listings of version history. --[[User:Puzzledvegetable|<u style="color:#0000ff"><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;color:#000000">Puzzledvegetable</span></u>]]<b><sup style="font-family:Century Gothic">[[User talk:Puzzledvegetable|Is it teatime already?]]</sup></b> 13:31, 3 July 2020 (UTC) + changed !vote --[[User:Puzzledvegetable|<u style="color:#0000ff"><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;color:#000000">Puzzledvegetable</span></u>]]<b><sup style="font-family:Century Gothic">[[User talk:Puzzledvegetable|Is it teatime already?]]</sup></b> 13:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
