::Dr. Riha, as an academic, surely you understand what it means to publish. It doesn't mean posting on YouTube. It usually means you got your paper published in some kind of reviewed publication. Our standards aren't even that high. All we ask is that you got published in a source with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. If you or anyone else is indeed doing some interesting work with Shen, surely some of you must have an incentive to publish something on the topic. Once you do, that will contribute to the notability of Shen in a way we can consider. When do you think that might happen? In the meantime, you are welcome to [[WP:USERFY]] the page.

::With respect, I think you are missing the point. The question of the academic originality/academic notability of Shen is not an issue to be decided in Wikipedia. My intercession was made to answer your statement 'No one's argued anyone's using Qi or Shen'. Well that has been addressed. So that should dispose of that objection. The question of notability is already shown by the size of the news group and, as Smita below has shown and I repeat the quote that he supplied
"The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability."
The only question remaining is whether the material in the entry is accurate and substantiated. If you think that is the case, then you need to withdraw your bid for deletion. If not, you need to indicate what parts of the entry are not substantiated and the Shen group will either withdraw them or find the necessary citations - Willi.
* '''keep''' In the Lisp family of languages, Shen stands out in at least two respects: (1) Its type system, which is closer to a general theorem prover than to a traditional type system, and (2) its implementation by compilation to a minimalist subset of itself. Shen is actively developed, well documented in [http://www.shenlanguage.org/tbos.html The Book of Shen], and it has a small but active user base organized in a mailing list. Not being a Wikipedia expert, I cannot say if this suffices for notability, but as a Wikipedia user I would definitely expect Wikipedia to have an entry on Shen. <small>— [[User:82.66.102.10|82.66.102.10]] ([[User talk:82.66.102.10|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/82.66.102.10|contribs]]) has made [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account|few or no other edits]] outside this topic. </small> — <small>'''Note''': An editor has expressed a concern that [[User:82.66.102.10|82.66.102.10]] ([[User talk:82.66.102.10|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/82.66.102.10|contribs]]) has been [[WP:CANVAS|canvassed]] to this discussion. {{#if:|([{{{2}}} diff])|}}</small> <small>The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added at 08:43, 9 March 2015 (UTC)</small>
