Apparently minor programming language sourced only to blogs and forums. (Possible COI; article creator [[User:Msfclipper]] has only edited articles related to the work of Mahmoud Samir Fayed - namely this and [[PWCT (programming language)]].)

*'''Keep'''—notable : Supernova programming language, is a [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/supernova free open source software] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_programming | one of the few natural programming languages]], [https://www.google.co.uk/#q=%22Supernova+programming+language%22 Google return about 7940 results]] , this [http://www.taibahu.edu.sa/iccit/allICCITpapers/pdf/p468-mefteh.pdf/ research paper] provide a reference to Supernova [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]] ([[User talk:Msfclipper|talk]]) 13:42, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
::That research paper focuses mainly on a different language and gives Supernova only a single, dismissive paragraph of comparison, although it does call it "the first Arabic natural programming language". Is this what Supernova is best known for? --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 14:18, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
::::Supernova is known for more than one reason, (1) the language is a natural programming language and there are few of these languages that are developed for research

▲::::Supernova is known for more than one reason, (1) the language is a natural programming language and there are few of these languages that are developed for research, (2) the language allow writing text based source code in English keywords, Arabic keyword and/or English and Arabic in the same program, (3) the language token is a letter and it's not case/line/space sensitive, (4) the language developed using a visual programming language called (PWCT) and it's the first text based programming language developed using a visual programming language.

*'''Delete.''' Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by [[WP:GNG]]. Sources offered are all [[WP:Primary]] (meaning, sources written by the author) or otherwise unsuitable. Googling turns up nothing useful. It's possible this is simply a case of [[WP:Too soon]] and that new, more helpful sources could appear tomorrow. But, frankly, I doubt it. It's very difficult to imagine this going anywhere. I don't know who would use it to do what. [[WP:COI]] is not a reason to delete but is a reason to question [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]]'s impartiality in claiming this language is known for anything or even that it's known at all. If, as I expect, the consensus is to delete, [[User:Msfclipper|Msfclipper]] should request the article be ''[[WP:Userfy|userfied]]'' if he'd like to continue working on it as he looks for more suitable sources.
