*:::If you don't think some of these articles should be deleted, why did you list them on VfD in the first place? That seems like an abuse of the VfD process to me, making speculative guesses about articles which someone else ''might'' think is worthy of deletion and then cluttering VfD up with polls to see if anyone does. If someone else thinks they're delete-worthy they can list them here themselves, and if you wanted to do random polling to prompt them you should probably have stuck to talk: pages.

* 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). I didn't check them all. I expect there are many more exceptions that these. [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 16:08, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

*'''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)
