'''Important note to voters: there's no need to vote for each individual article here, if you want to keep/merge/delete all, without exception.''' Go back to the [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Esoteric programming language related|main discussion]] if you want to vote that way; the admins tallying votes will take both the general votes and the individual votes for each article into account when deciding whether to delete.
 
Note to future VfD nominators: please don't mass-nominate like this, it makes maintenance a headache. If you want to delete an entire class of articles, start by discussing it on [[Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy]], and then go from there. Thanks, [[User:Benc|• Benc]][[User_talk:Benc| •]] 16:50, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 
====[[List of esoteric programming languages]]====
'''Delete''' list-article, most significant examples are mentioned in the article [[Esoteric programming language]]. For the individual entries see below. -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 12:01, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
:'''Keep'''. Could be made into a category, though, I presume. -- [[User:Schneelocke|Schnee]] 14:22, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
::There is a category already: [[:Category:Esoteric programming languages]] -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 15:39, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
: '''Strong keep''' especially if deleting the rest, at least keep this one, and the hello world program article below [[User:Kim Bruning|Kim Bruning]] 15:32, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
:Keep. [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 16:12, Sep 29, 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)
*'''Keep''', to merge esolangs into it. [[User:Mikkalai|Mikkalai]] 05:03, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 
====[[Hello world program in esoteric languages]]====
Are we a source code depository? Look at it, shake your head, and then '''Delete'''! -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 12:01, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
:'''Keep'''. There's no reason to delete it, at all. -- [[User:Schneelocke|Schnee]] 14:22, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
: '''Keep''', keep at least this one, and List of esoteric programming langauges above. [[User:Kim Bruning|Kim Bruning]] 15:32, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
* '''Delete'''. But there is a website somewhere with a monumental list of these, which might be added as an external link to [[Esoteric programming language]]. [[User:Securiger|Securiger]] 16:17, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Merge and redirect''' to [[Hello world]] (although I'd cheerfully vote to delete that as well; Wikipedia is not a code archive). [[User:Triskaideka|<nowiki></nowiki>]]&mdash;[[User:Triskaideka|Triskaideka]] 17:03, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*Delete after ensuring content is not lost. The content belongs to the respective programming language articles. There is no point in this article. It's not a list, it's not a comparison. --[[User:Hemanshu|Hemanshu]] 17:07, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
