:({{Find sources AFD|Small matter of programming}})

This seems to be a [[WP:NOTDICT|dictionary]] entry based on two small entries in esr's Jargon File and the IBM Jagon Dictionary. There is a book with the title "A Small Matter of Programming" by Bonnie A. Nardi, and this book is being frequently mentioned by other publications, but neither the book nor its mentions seem to be mainly about the term itself. Worse, the term seems to be used in non-ironical ways in some articles, like http://disrupt-africa.com/2019/02/kenyas-brck-partners-facebook-to-simplify-mobile-network-deployments/ -- contradicting the whole point of the Wikipedia article. I think this is mostly [[WP:OR|original research]], and possibly even a citation loop based on the age of this article.

Line 12:

:::No. Basing an article on what one has personally heard is OR. Basing an opinion on whether something is well known, in an AfD, when the article itself is appropriately sourced, is what we should be doing, and not something that it is appropriate to complain about. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 01:35, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Considering that this phrase (namely "Small matter of programming") can be relatively regarded as an applicable/suitable phrase, and since there seems to have pretty sufficient related sources --in the internet--, as a result presumably it is better to be kept; but it would be better if the provider of the mentioned article add more reliable sources to that.
