===[[Compiler bug]]===

This is a Wikipedia article about a specific (albeit irritating) class of computer bugs. No seriously catastrophic bugs have been placed in this category, and while compiler bugs are one of the subtlest and most diffuclt to debug nuances of programming, they are not significant enough to warrant a page on Wikipedia. The article is linked from no mainspace pages as of this writing, and its one link is from, ironically, a list of orphaned pages. I suggest an outright deletion, and a quasi-merge (ie, a small note about compiler bugs and other subtleties) into [[software bug]]. [[User:Abednigo|Abednigo]] 15:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' as OR unless it is sourced. I have no prejudice to it being re-created, though, as I consider the topic notable. --[[User:Hyperbole|Hyperbole]] 21:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete and quasi-merge''' per nom. [[User:Michael Kinyon|Michael Kinyon]] 06:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', not verifiable and I don't know of any high-profile software failures traced to compiler bugs. [[User:Gazpacho|Gazpacho]] 17:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

*'''Neutral''' Notable topic, but I'm not sure that the article's worth saving. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 16:12, 11 September 2006 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
