The result of the debate was '''delete'''. Two editors have suggested that the article be redirected to [[Flex lexical analyzer]], but this seems unreasonable as [[Flex lexical analyzer]] is not (from what I gather from the article) a programming language. So why redirect a programming language of any kind to it? Just because of a similiarity in the name? That seems sub-optimal. Consequently, I am interpreting the redirect votes as "delete". If you have valid reasons why I should reconsider, please feel free to contact me on my talk page.

===[[Flex_programming_language]]===
NOT notable. I have somewhat improved the original advertising article, but the language is really not notable (not to be confused with other computer related meanings of Flex), so it probably should be deleted. If not deleted, it should be improved. [[User:Kyknos|Kyknos]] 19:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' non-notable in-house tool and redirect to [[Flex lexical analyzer]]. [[User:Gazpacho|Gazpacho]] 19:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Not notable, at least yet. They have over 2000 downloads but I found no mention of actual external use. Written by two people, used just in small company (alsoft isn't well known brand), no revolutionary features claimed. The article and Czech variant [http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex] were created by one of language authors. Do not redirect to the parser as it is misleading.

*'''Delete.''' --[[User:Egg|Egg]] <small>[[User talk:Egg|✉]]</small> 01:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
*'''Redirect''' to [[Flex lexical analyzer]]. It is very rare for a proprietary computer language to have any real influence on the world at large; Visual Basic, Applescript, and similar OS or API-specific scripting languages are probably the only significant exceptions. (Consider [[REBOL]] -- it seems to be targeted at the same audience as Perl or Python, but it has no visibility to speak of, at least partly because it's proprietary.)

*'''Keep''' – This isn't well known language, but it has some interesting ideas and I have read some articles about them. I don't use it (it doesn't work on my platform and I prefer mainstream languages), but I don't agree that it is completely insignificant. --[[User:Petr.adamek|Petr.adamek]] 10:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
*'''Delete.''' Not notable. [[User:Tom.k|Tom.k]] 10:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
*'''Redirect''' per Haikupoet. [[User:OwenX|Owen×]] [[User talk:OwenX|<big>☎</big>]] 21:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
