keep (and merge?)
editing my own comment
Line 69:
*Comment: a lot of people are casting blanket "keep" votes despite the fact that some of these "languages" have, by their articles' own admission, never existed outside of one humorous USENET post. I suggest that, after the five-day voting period for this mass nomination ends, any articles that have received a simple majority of non-"keep" votes cast specifically for them be re-nominated, so that we can reach a genuine consensus on whether they deserve inclusion.

*'''Comment''': Oooh, what a great idea! It's always so fun to pick on minorities! How about we delete all [[chess variant]]s, [[:Category:Homestar Runner]], [[:Template:HitchhikerMiscellanea]] and, here comes the best part, all but the five biggest religions from [[:Category:Religion]]! Personally I think most of religions are rubbish and nothing more than a (lame) joke so ''obviously'' they should be deleted. --[[User:ZeroOne|ZeroOne]] 18:03, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep all (but possibly merge some)'''. The few completely fictional joke languages (namely [[DOGO programming language|DOGO]], [[SIMPLE programming language|SIMPLE]], [[SLOBOL programming language|SLOBOL]], [[VALGOL programming language|VALGOL]], [[LAIDBACK programming language|LAIDBACK]], [[Sartre programming language|SARTRE]], [[FIFTH programming language|FIFTH]], [[C- programming language|C-]] and [[LITHP programming language|LITHP]]) could be merged under some appropriate topic (like [[fictional programming languages]]). Other languages could stay like they are, or, if you have some really good reasons to do so, merged into the [[list of esoteric programming languages]] or preferably to some other -new- list, like [[esoteric programming languages]]. However this list would become really long and Wikipedia would start complaining that it should be split into smaller articles. --[[User:ZeroOne|ZeroOne]] 19:3340, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
