*'''Keep all''' - The mass nomination is wrong. If you can't be bothered to evaluate them individually then they don't belong here. If you have then discuss them individually instead of lumping them in a group where the good can be thrown out with the bad (if any). - [[User:Texture|<font color=red>T&#949;x</font>]][[User Talk:Texture|<font color=blue>&#964;</font>]][[User:Texture|<font color=red>ur&#949;</font><!-- TANSTAAFL -->]] 20:38, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

*Comment: several voters are giving [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] a hard time for mass-nominating a large number of articles. In fact, he's one of a very few people who ''did'' evaluate all of the articles individually. He voted on every one and provided at least a short reason. This only ''looks'' like a blanket nomination because he nominated them all at the same time and allowed people to vote on them all as a group&mdash;which I think is turning out to have been a mistake, as some of these subjects are, IMO, clearly more notable than others. It might have been easier on the voters if he'd nominated them in batches over a longer period (although then I'm sure people would have cited the languages that hadn't yet been deleted as support for the languages up for consideration), but I think it's unfair to criticize him for being willing to do ''more'' work than anyone else. If articles deserve to be nominated, then they deserve to be nominated, and many of these clearly deserve at least nomination, even if we ultimately decide that they don't deserve deletion.

**('''Comment & Apoligies by Nominator''') Thank you very much. I agree that it was a mistake to nominate such a large nuber at once, including some clear ''Keep''er's .I would like to thank everybody who liikedlooked at the individual nominations for their effort. My apologies to the community for creating such a stir. On top of that, I have to go on a trip today and won't be back until Thursday, so I can't even clean up my mess when it is due on Monday. (Not that I would delete anything at this point with that number of ''Keep all'' votes). Otherwise i would remove all the ''VfD'' tags from the articles and also see which articles had a majority for deletion based on the individual votes. Again - not deleting them but only list them somewhere (possibly [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Programming Languages]]) and ask for further comment. After that I probably take a VfD Holiday. Thanks. -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 23:13, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
