'''Keep'''  Being an "obscure programming language" is a "keep" reason in a paperless encyclopedia.  There is a preliminary presumption of notability here when Google generates 50,000 hits.  In glancing at those hits, I saw many web pages with "afnix" in the URL, each of these web pages documents that "afnix" has been noticed.  [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating|talk]]) 23:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:'''Comment''' &ndash; Obscurity is not a reason to keep anything in an encyclopedia where notability is based on [[WP:V| verifiability]]. Far from 50K GHits is a total of 418 GHits, none of which appear contain any substance that would support Wikipedia defined notability.

::Then you agree that the nominator's statement "obscure programming language" was not based on notability principles.&nbsp; I clicked to page 42 and verify that the 56,500 Google hits changes to 418 Google hits.&nbsp; How did you decide that none of the 418 hits were substantive?&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating|talk]]) 00:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
