*'''Delete'''. Can't find any reliable sources showing notability as a real language. There are lots of created languages that get written up in some obscure paper, and the language is never actually used for any real projects. [[User:Crum375|Crum375]] 02:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - published papers cited above are all by the creator of the language. The books linked all appear to be conference proceedings: probably with reprints of papers by the creator. The other claims are more difficult to verify but at the moment independent sources appear to be missing. -- [[User:Bpmullins|BPMullins]] | [[User talk:BPmullins|Talk]] 02:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. Google scholar lists ~120 [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=functional-logic+alf papers related in some way to ALF]. Many of these are trivial mentions but [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?num=20&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&cluster=15504922400856969496 Compiling Logic Programs with Equality] (one of Hanus' papers) is not and has 71 citations. Another of Hanus' ALF papers, [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?num=20&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&cluster=17824576622617000993 Improving Control of Logic Programs by Using Functional Logic Languages], has an additional 29 citations. These are not amazing cite numbers but they're pretty good; enough, I think, to establish notability. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] 07:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
