*'''Comment''' We have a couple of essays and a failed guideline that help (somewhat): [[WP:NSOFT]] and [[WP:99BOTTLES]], [[Wikipedia:Software notability]] . This passes 99BOTTLES [http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-nimrod-2245.html] <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Widefox|Widefox]]</span>; [[User talk:Widefox|talk]]</span> 09:29, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
{{Reply to|Widefox}} 99bottles is an essay on non-notability, it doesn't grant notability. The 99 bottles site allows anyone to contribute to it. I can write a new language tomorrow and submit a 99bottles to the site the next day. Furthermore, this is what, the 5th time 99BOTTLES has been used in any discussion? ―<span style="background:#8FF;border:solid 1px;border-radius:8px;box-shadow:darkgray 2px 2px 2px"> [[User:Padenton|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;color:#C00">Padenton</span>]]|[[User talk:Padenton|✉]] </span> 14:40, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
::{{Reply to|Padenton}} Yes, I said it's an essay, and NSOFT is not a notability guideline as implied above, but as I said, also an essay. [[WP:IAR]] is the policy "that all editors should normally follow", [[WP:N]] is the guideline "editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply". I believe pertinent here, others may agree or not. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Widefox|Widefox]]</span>; [[User talk:Widefox|talk]]</span> 14:52, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
