== Commodore 64 sales record claims ==
 
Several articles (such as "[[Home computer]]" or "[[Commodore 64]]") claim that the Commodore 64 is some variation of the "highest-selling computer of all time". This claim seems highly-dubious to me, is almost-certainly outdated, and likely relies on using a definition of "computer" that conveniently excludes any potential counterexamples. While the sales figures of the C64 (estimated at somewhere between twelve-million and seventeen-million units) were no-doubt remarkable for the 1980s, in the decades since computers have become far more prevalent in society so this seems like a claim that is liable to becoming outdated quickly. I can't find any recent sales figures for individual models of the Macintosh, for example, but it would be highly-surprising to me if the M1 Macbook Air had sold fewer than twelve-million units, for example. Even beyond that, there is also the matter of the Playstation 2, which is unquestionably a computer (even if it arguably isn't the same kind of computer as the C64) and sold over 150-million units. To me these claims seem as if they either need to be removed from said articles or better placed into context, although I understand if sourcing is an issue with achieving the latter.

==Code V==
:[[Commodore 64]] makes a claim based on CNN reporting citing Guinness which is the sort of [[WP:SECONDARY]] sourcing we prefer. [https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/72695-most-computer-sales Here's what Guinness says]. I agree that this is either unlikely to still be true or relies on an outdated definition of ''computer''. Not sure where to go from here. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 13:03, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
::It seems that Guinness specify "best-selling {{em|desktop}} computer", which at the very least seems more plausible, although I'm still not convinced that these sources aren't outdated, and it seems to me as if any sales record claim is reliant on setting a fairly arbitrary definition regarding what is or isn't eligible.

:Here's an even bigger claim by David John Pleasance, managing director of Commodore UK back then:
The article entitled [[Code V]] does not have sufficient reliable sources to be considered notable and merit inclusion. In the edit history, an editor recommended merging the article to the company that markets this product - '''[[Synopsys]]'''.
::''"There’s been a lot of conjecture about the volume of C64s sold worldwide. I can tell you categorically that the number was just a tad under '''27 million'''. I can tell you that because, when we were thinking about doing a management buyout, we got access to all the figures."''

== Significance of [[V (programming language)|V (Vlang)]] and [[Pony (programming language)|Pony]] ==
But, I don't really see a place for it in that article. This is because doing so would seem to be promoting a trivial subject by giving Code V its own section, when compared to the notable material already in "Synopsys" article. It doesn't fit with the tone of that article.
 
There's ongoing dispute in edit summaries and [[User talk:Remsense#Mass Edit Reversion Campaigns|a user talk page]] over adding [[V (programming language)|V (Vlang)]] and [[Pony (programming language)|Pony]] to the lists of implementations in various articles: [[Hash table]], [[Type aliasing]], [[Snake case]], [[Mixin]] and more. There are additions to quite short lists, e.g. adding V to the eight implementations in [[Hash Table]][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hash_table&diff=prev&oldid=1291992239] or to Java, Javascript, Swift and Fortran 90 as a language using the underscore as a [[Decimal separator]][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decimal_separator&diff=prev&oldid=1291974774], and to quite long ones.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mixin&diff=prev&oldid=1291993439#Programming_languages_that_use_mixins] Could editors discuss here whether V and Pony are significant enough to be mentioned in such articles? [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 17:08, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
So, I am inclined to [[WP:AFD|AFD]] the "Code V" article. However, I am looking for alternate opinions or solutions, so that is why I am posting this here. Thanks in advance.
 
:These are very little known languages with tiny usage shares (significantly less than one percent). Adding content about these languages across Wikipedia is not helpful to the readers at all and mainly serves to inappropriately promote these obscure languages. [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 17:22, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
I am also posting this on the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics| WikiProject Physics Talk Page]]. -- [[User:Steve Quinn|Steve Quinn]] ([[User talk:Steve Quinn|talk]]) 17:29, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
* I am now thinking a good solution is to remove the content and make it a redirect. I think this is what the other editor actually recommended, not a merge. ---[[User:Steve Quinn|Steve Quinn]] ([[User talk:Steve Quinn|talk]]) 20:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 
:The "little known" argument looks false, because inclusion can be for academic reasons and to provide a diverse spectrum of information or examples for different kinds of languages, and it can be said that Pony falls under this umbrella. Particularly because of numerous academic papers on it and the famous computer scientists involved. Even under the argument that a language "must" be as generally popular as those listed on the articles in question, V arguably meets that criteria. Being ranked above various languages on [https://web.archive.org/web/20250527152413/https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ TIOBE] or above them in [https://ossinsight.io/collections/programming-language/ popularity lists for GitHub] (top 10 in the year to year).
* My comment from WPPHYSICS: his should be a disambiguation page. "Code V" is used in many different fields and subjects outside of physics. I would move the current page to [[Synopsys Code V]], and then redirect it, to clear the edit history. Then rewrite "Code V" into a disambiguation page. (for instance: [[ATC code V]] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=code+v&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=Search] , etc ) -- [[Special:Contributions/65.94.169.222|65.94.169.222]] ([[User talk:65.94.169.222|talk]]) 06:22, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 
:V is around as or more popular than Nim, Zig, D, Ocaml, Haxe, Racket, and Elixir. Languages that were included in the articles. In fact, {{tq|'''no'''}} reverts, protests, or bans were pursued or applied involving those other mentioned languages. {{tq|'''No'''}} arguments as to their significance, suitability, or questions about how well known they are were aggressively pursued or asked.
*FWIW I don't see any reason not to merge. I would create a section {{section link|Synopsys|Products}} and drop this material there with {{tlg|expand section|other products|date{{=}}August 2014}} on top of it. Then I would disambiguate [[Code V]] per IP and assume the issue resolved. — [[user:czarkoff|Dmitrij D. Czarkoff]] ([[user talk:czarkoff|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/czarkoff|track]]) 09:47, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 
:Furthermore, the sudden introduction of {{tq|new special criteria}} (beyond the standard of notability and having a Wikipedia page) to aggressively block specific programming languages or other editors, gives the appearance of being a diversion to fairness. One in which can hide bias, the creation of de facto ownership for only select editors, or allowing only what is on their personal approved list. True, there is the opposite or various views. But, it can be argued we're given the equivalent result, of a kind of topic wide de facto ban.
*I think both these suggestions are good and thanks to both of you for contributing. It did not occur to me to make a new section entitled "Synopsys products", nor did it occur to me to make a disambiguation page. I guess this is why it is best to confer with others.
 
:If the counter is that is not the case, then logic tells us that such specified criteria should been previously and is applied to all languages, {{tq|equally and fairly}}, across all programming related articles and content. An editor who attempted to add "lesser known than the others" languages to what existed, such as Zig or Haxe (it and others are not even on TIOBE), should have been equally scrutinized, reverted, or gotten requests for opinions on them. Not to mention the timeline of when opinions are requested, after already implementing and enforcing abrasive reverts and actions. [[User:Wukuendo|Wukuendo]] ([[User talk:Wukuendo|talk]]) 03:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:Now that the page has been renamed, I agree with the merge, which would create a redirect. This would then leave the "Code V" main-space name available for changing to a disambiguation page. Can we all agree to this? Should we wait a few more days for more comments? I think a good solution has been found. ---[[User:Steve Quinn|Steve Quinn]] ([[User talk:Steve Quinn|talk]]) 05:26, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

:::Somehow, "lesser" or "as well known" languages such as Nim, Haxe, Zig, D, Ocaml, Elixir... represent peak "dueness", while it just so happens that specifically V and/or Pony do not? That includes ignoring the factual presentation of data from neutral 3rd parties about V's comparable popularity. Even more, upon the discovery of the presence of Pony and V, {{tq|all other languages}} on those articles were ignored or deemed acceptable enough not to question. This was allowed for years (and continues to be), until the day Pony or V showed up, and only then was just those specifically handled. [[User:Wukuendo|Wukuendo]] ([[User talk:Wukuendo|talk]]) 10:24, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
:::If the disambiguation page is subsequently moved to "Code V (disambiguation)" it would be inappropriate to have Synonpsys' in the edit history, so moving the edit history to a topic specific title for the particular topic would keep the edit history clear so that those traversing through it to determine why a disambiguation page would not have an article in its history to confuse the meaning of the disambiguation page's history. -- [[Special:Contributions/65.94.169.222|65.94.169.222]] ([[User talk:65.94.169.222|talk]]) 06:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

:::::(1) This situation was forced by the abrasive implementation of what can be seen as a de facto ban on specific languages and articles. Arguably, few want any part in tangling with that kind of Wikipedia stress or intimidation, nor are they likely to be as concerned about the handling of various programming languages. As I was specifically the recipient of repeated aggressive actions and invited to discuss over here, so I came. (2) It's {{tq|'''not'''}} a straw man that neutral 3rd party data (TIOBE and GitHub) shows V as [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiably]] {{tq|as popular or as well known}} as languages on the articles in question. (3) The inclusion of notable languages with already existing Wikipedia pages (like Pony), particularly those with significant academic papers and coverage, to give a more diverse spectrum of examples on programming related articles was rarely an issue until being recently made so.

::We always needs more than the mere existence of a Wikipedia page on someone/thing to justify inclusion elsewhere. We don't list an actor on every page about a film or show they appeared in, every genre writer in an article about that genre, or every destination served in a rail station article. Exhaustive, indiscriminate lists are discouraged; we're looking for content that's significant for that article. [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]] applies, as does the entire spirit of [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] (the enumerations in our policies are not exhaustive either).
::The existence of other content doesn't establish that any such content can be included; [[WP:OTHERCONTENT]] illustrates some such arguments. Often we deal with issues as they arise; that doesn't require fixing all pre-existing issues first. If an article already has too much of something, that's no justification for making it worse.
::The TIOBE ranking of V is not a good argument for V's inclusion in articles about [[Type aliasing]] or [[Hash table]]s; as our [[TIOBE index]] says, it is only {{tq|calculated from the number of search engine results for queries containing the name of the language.}} As such, it's highly susceptible to spamming and SEO; its only virtue is that it must have been very easy to program but gives TIOBE publicity. Worse, "V" is a peculiar challenge to identify and TIOBE mark its result, as having only 80% confidence (which in hypothesis testing would be worthless).[https://web.archive.org/web/20250408203022/https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programminglanguages_definition/] V's score of only 0.19% renders it almost indistinguishable from languages that didn't make the top-50. Pony doesn't feature.
::Our [[Tiobe index]] article mentions two alternative indices. Neither V or Pony feature in the June 2024 Redmonk rankings[https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2024/09/12/language-rankings-6-24/] or the IEEE Spectrum 2024 rankings.[https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-programming-languages-2024]
::V was first released in 2019. It remains in beta, now at version 0.4.10. According to its creator, "After 0.4 0.6, we'll be going for 1.0 right away, freezing the syntax, similar to what Go did. So if something has to be changed, now is the time to do it." That was in 2020.[https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/7610] According to our article; V was {{tq|created to develop a desktop messaging client named Volt}}; nothing else is mentioned.
::According to [[Pony (programming language)]], after 10 years that's at 0.59.0.
::Altogether, there's no sign that either V or Pony's choice of a [[decimal separator]] or inclusion of [[algebraic data type]]s, for example, will be significant to our readers or otherwise worth mentioning. It's not Wikipedia's job to include products in fairness to them, and it's unsurprising that adding V to so many articles raised questions. [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 18:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::Articles in question, to which V and/or Pony were added, include:
::[[Algebraic data type]], [[At sign]], [[Bcrypt]], [[Concurrency (computer science)]], [[Conditional (computer programming)]], [[Decimal separator]], [[Exit (system call)]], [[Filter (higher-order function)]], [[Foreign function interface]], [[Hash table]], [[Increment and decrement operators]], [[Interface (object-oriented programming)]], [[Mixin]], [[Modular programming]], [[NaCl (software)]], [[Printf]], [[Project Verona]], [[Range (computer programming)]], [[Result type]], [[Self-hosting (compilers)]], [[Snake case]], [[Ternary conditional operator]] and [[Type aliasing]]
::They were also added to two list articles which begin with explicit "notable programming languages" criteria, [[List of programming languages]] and [[List of programming languages by type]]
::and two which don't show explicit criteria, [[Generational list of programming languages]] and [[List of computing mascots]], . [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 18:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:::(1) The claim that either V or Pony are in an excessive number of articles is arguably false.
:::Nim, Zig, Red, D, Ocaml, Haxe, Racket, and Elixir are "lesser known" languages included in such articles.
:::Examples of links to their pages:
:::* Zig's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Zig_(programming_language)&limit=500 link count is at 169]
:::* Nim's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Nim_(programming_language)&limit=500 link count is 267]
:::* Racket's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/racket_(programming_language)&limit=500 link count is 320]
:::* Haxe's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Haxe&limit=500 link count is 461]
:::* Elixir's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Elixir_(programming_language)&limit=500 link count is 473]
:::Racket and Haxe, by the way, are not on TIOBE, Redmonk, or the IEEE lists. Nim is not on the IEEE list. This is pointed out, not as a knock on any of those languages (as don't support the advocated censoring), but rather there is not excessive [[Wikilawyering|wikilawyering]] or what some might call shadow tribunals, erected to force shadow bans on editors for mentioning them in programming related articles. The obsessiveness looks reflective of [[Wikipedia:I_just_don't_like_it|I just don't like it]], to force what can be seen or allowed.
:::(2) One of many examples of what appears to be selective bias or the hypocritical application of de facto banning
:::On the [[Type_aliasing|Type aliasing]] article, same editor added the {{tq|lesser known}} languages of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Type_aliasing&diff=prev&oldid=1161303852 Nim], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Type_aliasing&diff=prev&oldid=1251081551 Zig], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Type_aliasing&diff=prev&oldid=1209365308 Crystal], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Type_aliasing&diff=prev&oldid=1161540772 Elixir]. There was: no multiple reverting of the editor, no hounding of the editor all over Wikipedia, nor any application of additional special criteria for inclusion of these supposedly "lesser" languages.
:::(3) Using old rankings
:::The TIOBE and GitHub rankings are {{tq|'''2025'''}} and current, not years old. They are {{tq|industry recognized, famous, and neutral}}. There are critics of them, but there are also critics of Redmonk and IEEE as well. Furthermore, The programming landscape is not static, and more current monthly ratings are reflective of that. Their usage was to show that one of the languages in question, is arguably and comparatively well-known enough in relationship to others in the articles.
:::(4) "will be significant to our readers or otherwise worth mentioning"
:::The language being used strikes as strange. {{tq|No}} specific editor of Wikipedia can position themselves to declare what readers would find significant or worthwhile to read. That is far too presumptuous.
:::(5) Wikipedia wide diverting of editors
:::The article specific discussions among editors, which arguably should be taking place and were how things were done, looked to be rerouted to here. For what can be argued as a kind of shadow tribunal over if Pony or V are allowed to ever be mentioned. That looks at least inappropriate, if not arguably trying to get a shadow tribunal rubber stamp for [[Wikipedia:Wikibullying|bullying]]. It's confusing as to what is actually trying to be accomplished. "These languages have been found guilty of not being significant enough". "Therefore, no mention of them shall ever be allowed again on Wikipedia".
:::If that is not the case, looks like specifics over inclusion, should be handled at the individual article level. There would be less of the appearance of impropriety directed at a specific language or editor. [[User:Wukuendo|Wukuendo]] ([[User talk:Wukuendo|talk]]) 14:08, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project.

== request for help on Untether AI article ==
" Phoenix Labs is a Canadian-based, independent video game developer founded 2014 by video game veterans Jesse Houston, Robin Mayne and Sean Bender. They are focused on highly connected, cooperative gameplay experiences that feature strong experiential narratives (1).
Hello,
One of the reviewers of a draft article about Untether AI that I have published (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Untether_AI) suggested I post a request for help here. Would anyone have some suggestions as to how to improve the article, particularly its notability? Any feedback would be very much appreciated. [[User:Rhg2|Rhg2]] ([[User talk:Rhg2|talk]]) 16:05, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
 
:Notability is an issue that cannot necessarily be resolved by making the draft better. Establishing notability requires finding good sources. For some subjects, such sources simply don't exist and an article on such a subject cannot be written until others publish [[WP:SECONDARY]] information about the subject. Since the company you're writing about is defunct, it is less likely new sources will ever be published. Furthermore, establishing notability can be an especially difficult problem for companies as [[WP:NCORP|notability requirements for companies]] are particularly demanding. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 14:10, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello again,
 
Would this also be a good place to suggest an article on the MLPerf benchmarks ( https://mlcommons.org/benchmarks )? I don't think I'm familiar enough to write it myself, but I'd be happy to help. [[Special:Contributions/2607:F2C0:B199:F700:4D70:201C:3E15:980E|2607:F2C0:B199:F700:4D70:201C:3E15:980E]] ([[User talk:2607:F2C0:B199:F700:4D70:201C:3E15:980E|talk]]) 10:34, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
Our logo is also directly available on the site.
Thanks so much for your help. Let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Jessie Gagnon, Writer + Communications, Phoenix Labs

:{{not done}} I would not modify the Phoenix Labs page, as that refers to something completely different from your company, whether or not you "own the name" (meaningless), unless you purchased the company referred to by [[Phoenix Labs]]. It would ''certainly'' be inappropriate to move the current page to [[Phoenix Labs (former)]], as that is 1.) not descriptive and 2.) probably not even accurate. I'm personally not convinced that either company is notable under [[WP:GNG]]. If the other company is deleted as non-notable and is defunct, I doubt it will ever become notable, whereas your company may well become notable if it ends up meeting the general notability guidelines. In that case, your company's page will likely be located at [[Phoenix Labs]]. If both are notable, then we'd probably put your page at [[Phoenix Labs (video game studio)]] with a hatnote on the current page. If your page is the much more popular search term, then we'd probably want to switch them around per [[WP:2DAB]].

:Honestly, best of luck with your company. If you are interested in helping Wikipedia's coverage of your company in the future, keeping a list of press coverage you get would probably be very useful to future editors when they are looking for citations (either to prove notability or to verify factual statements). Independent, [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]] sources are crucial to Wikipedia's [[WP:V|verifiability]].

== Good article reassessment for [[Moore's law]] ==
I'm not exactly sure where to ask for help with this, but I've been helping an editor ({{ping|Drcarver}}) with an article concerning CoSign by ARX. He's been pretty diligent about looking for sources but I'm not entirely certain about everything. I figured that it'd be best to get someone a little more savvy with computers and digital technology as a whole to take a look over the article and see what they think. Anyone up for it? You can find the article at [[User:Drcarver/CoSign by ARX]]. Do any of you think that this is ready for the mainspace?
