:::::Well, look at it this way: We have a definition of and a prohibition against [[WP:OR]]. My take is that if an editor here were to create a similar summary of primary information, we would judge that as allowed because there's nothing original there, only a paraphrasing of the original source. A secondary source has to have some original thought to make it secondary and this article doesn't have that. Does that help?

*'''Keep''' Nim has [[https://github.com/search?l=nimrod&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E=0&s=updated&type=Repositories more than 400 repositories in github, authored by 55 different people]. It is a project [https://github.com/ReneSac/Nim/graphs/contributors active since 2008, with over 200 forks and 88 people] that at some point contributed some code to the compiler or standard library.
:There are many articles about Nim in blogs and such:

:Of course, they are self published and not peer reviewed, but many of them are posted to Hacker News and r/programming, openly discussed there, usually errors are pointed and the author accepts the feedback and correct the original article, etc. And it is those blog posts that normal people rely when they need to, for example, discover [http://goran.krampe.se/2014/11/03/squeak-to-nim/ how to make a Nim library].
:And everyone that is from outside Wikipedia are surprised to discover that Nim isn't considered notable enough for wikipedia (and those who aren't usually abandoned wikipedia editing due to those deletion sprees):
