* '''keep''' The comments about the Shen license change not resulting in a clean, unmodified BSD seem to be wrong. The license file at http://www.shenlanguage.org/license.pdf states the license is "a 3 clause BSD license from 2015" and includes the license text. Additional commentary on the authors own opinions of various licenses is separated from the license text with "Comments on BSD, GPL and Copyright" and is not part of the license itself. Shen has received coverage in two published books, [http://www.fast-print.net/bookshop/1694/logic-proof-and-computation-second-edition Logic, Proof and Computation] and [http://www.fast-print.net/bookshop/1506/the-book-of-shen-second-edition The Book of Shen]. The [http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Enumerable-Java-Shen-Clojure Clever, Classless and Free] talk by Håkan Råberg references Shen and Aditya Siram presented [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMcRBdSdO_U Shen, a sufficiently advanced lisp] at the [https://thestrangeloop.com/ Strange Loop conference]. Numerous implementations of Shen exist from third parties not associated with the original Shen author. [[User:Yofsotsi|Yofsotsi]] ([[User talk:Yofsotsi|talk]]) 03:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

** Both books are self-published books by the language's designer and thus do not help to establish notability. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 12:57, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

* '''strong keep''' Shen is different from Qi. For one it has a different set of primitives from Qi. It's a successor in the same sense SBCL is a successor of CMUCL and they have their own entries. Furthermore it has transitioned to a BSD license. The comments regarding licence made by [[User:Hga|Hga]] are no longer applicable.
