* Keep all but '''redirect''' where necessary to prevent them being recreated. Merge into the [[list of esoteric programming languages]] and delink them from there. Exceptions that should be kept as articles and not redirected include (but are not limited to) [[Brainfuck]], [[C Plus Plus programming language|C Plus Plus]], [[Iota and Jot programming languages|Iota and Jot]] (completely misleading Google search. [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=iota%2Bjot+%22programming+language%22&btnG=Search&meta= iota+jot "programming language"] gets 292 and [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=iota+%2B%22programming+language%22&btnG=Search&meta= iota +"programming language"] gets 1940 hits), [[L33t programming language|L33t]], [[Lambda programming language|Lambda]], [[PATH programming language|PATH]], [[OISC]], [[VALGOL programming language|VALGOL]] and [[Var'aq]] ([http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=Var%27aq+%2B%22programming+language%22&btnG=Search&meta= Var'aq +"programming language"] gets >17000 hits).

'''Comment''': I would suggest that in most cases, we just want a redirect to [[List of esoteric programming languages]]; if the language has any actual significance, perhaps that page could include a link to the language's homepage. I don't see much point in including fictional languages at all, unless they have some cultural significance. BTW, having so many in the list is making it extremely difficult to submit a vote, due to edit conflicts. Please don't do that again. [[User:Securiger|Securiger]] 16:17, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

* '''Keep'''. I would suggest keeping this as a place to preserve the thin residue of useful content from the rest. As against a category, it has the advantage that we can include webpage links to languages that are somewhat interesting, but may not merit full articles (for example, several "single instruction set" languages can reference the fact that, whilst intended as a joke, it has been demonstrated that a useful and powerful computer can be built with a single instruction "set"). I note also, however, that this list includes several languages that may be little known, but which under the given definition are not "esoteric" (AKI, [[Bon programming language]], MDPN, MUF, [[O xml|o:XML]], SSK and maybe [[ALPACA programming language|ALPACA]]). Oh, and get rid of the red links so people don't recreate articles. [[User:Securiger|Securiger]] 16:17, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
