*'''Strong Delete'''. (I would have just said "Delete", but I think my reasoning is just as good as the preceding comment!) I hadn't heard of CobolScript until today (and I'm reasonably familiar with a very wide range of languages), but my immediate thought was "Ah, a scripting language for the COBOL community; that should be interesting...". Unfortunately, although this language has indeed been around since the turn of the century, it doesn't seem to have developed a user base. Like [[user:czarkoff|Dmitrij D. Czarkoff]], I have not been able to find evidence of serious programming being done in CobolScript. There are a lot of links available to sites promoting the language, but these seem to be closely linked to a single company. Without a greater variety of sources or evidence of some sort of user-base it's hard to believe that CobolScript is notable. I suspect it falls into the category of "slightly cool languages that have been presented at conferences, but then are never heard from again". If we turn out to be wrong on this, and CobolScript later develops a following, we can always re-create this article then, but for now the only thing that is lost by a deletion is the imprimatur of a Wikipedia link on the language promoter's website.
