:({{Find sources AFD|Nim (programming language)}})
Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by [[WP:GNG]]. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Nimrod+%28programming+language%29&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= deletion log for this article] shows that it has deleted twice at AfD in 2010 and 2013 and recreated and speedy deleted twice in 2013 and 2014 under the previous title, [[Nimrod (programming language)]]. This version was declined as [[Draft:Nim (programming language)]] in 2014. Speedy deletion was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nim_(programming_language)&diff=prev&oldid=653537277 declined this time] based on new sources not present previously. I'm not sure which sources are new since I don't have access to the old version and it was never snapshotted at archive.org but all of the sources currently offered are [[WP:PRIMARY]], [[WP:UNRELIABLE]] blogs or otherwise unsuitable. The only reliable source offered, a [http://www.drdobbs.com/jvm/the-rise-and-fall-of-languages-in-2013/240165192 Dr. Dobbs article], only makes a trivial mention of the subject. Google searches for Nim and Nimrod turned up nothing helpful. Recommending [[WP:SALT]]. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 01:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
*<s>'''Keep'''</s> '''Delete'''. Disclaimer: I'm the person who declined the speedy deletion. The source I was talking about was [http://www.drdobbs.com/open-source/nimrod-a-new-systems-programming-languag/240165321 this Dr. Dobb's article], which covers the subject in detail. That should be enough to keep the article, in my opinion, although it would be nice to find some other sources as well. I do agree about the status of the other sources cited in the article, though - I think this is the first time I've seen a Wikipedia statement cited to an anonymous Slashdot poster... — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 05:41, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
*::That's a very good point. I agree that the [http://www.drdobbs.com/jvm/the-rise-and-fall-of-languages-in-2013/240165192 other Dr. Dobbs article] isn't enough for GNG, and I too have been unsuccessful at finding any other sources, so I've switched to "delete". This article can always be reinstated if/when there are reliable and independent sources available. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 06:24, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
▲::Unfortunately, that article is by Andreas Rumpf, who created the language, making it [[WP:PRIMARY]] and thus unsuitable for establishing notability under [[WP:GNG]]. Sorry. [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 05:53, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
