This steps over the line of [[WP:NOT]]. Virtually the entire article is release notes from Oracle. The encyclopaedic content is around the change in release cadence, which can be covered in the main article with a single sentence.

*'''Keep''', affirming what [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] mentioned. We could debate whether this article should be merged into [[Java_(programming_language)]] or not, but the same issues others mentioned would still stand, namely not every JEP note needs to be included, and it's heavily sourced in a way that violates [[WP:NOTADVERTISING]]. But I think a positive outcome of this discussion should be a clarified policy for all programming language versions going forward, because inevitably the sourcing will be largely singular for each and every small feature update/syntax change.
