== Notability ==

The article lacks reliable independent sources [[WP:RS]] to establish notability [[WP:N]] as required by [[WP:GNG]] and [[WP:CORPDEPTH]]. The notability tag should not be removed until better sources are provided.

The sources cited are troublesome. I found the first one (Modular programming languages: 7th Joint Modular Languages Conference) [http://www.amazon.com/Modular-Programming-Languages-Conference-Proceedings/dp/3540409270#reader_3540409270 on Amazon] but according to the table of contents, the cited page 20 is in the middle of an article titled, "Event-Based Programming Without Inversion of Control", by Philipp Haller and Martin Odersky; David E. Lightfoot, named as the author is the volume editor. The second one (Future Information Technology, Part I: 6th International Conference) [http://www.amazon.com/Future-Information-Technology-International-Conference/dp/3642223087 hasn't even been released yet]. And as a primary source, the sourceforge link is useless for establishing notability. This does not look to me like the significant coverage required to establish notability.

In addition, I'm concerned that the article appears to largely paraphrasing the [http://chapel.cray.com/ Chapel Overview] on the Cray site for the purpose of promoting [[WP:PROMOTION]] a future product (e.g., ''"It is being developed as part of the Cray Cascade project"'') [[WP:CRYSTAL]].

This article needs better sourcing. From the opening paragraph at [[WP:N]], ''"if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article."'' [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki|talk]]) 23:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
