*'''Comment''' {{re|SuperGoose007|Modernponderer|DESiegel}} did you have any particular sources in mind? We need actual (reliable independent) sources to argue notability. [[User:BenKuykendall|BenKuykendall]] ([[User talk:BenKuykendall|talk]]) 04:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
:*I don't know, {{U|BenKuykendall}}, I haven't looked. but for a a language as widely used and written about as Java, I would be utterly astounded if at least the major versions were not well described in reliable 3rd party sources. Texts on the language seem like a good starting place, I know there are many of those.

:*@[[User:BenKuykendall]]: There are literally '''books''' ''specifically'' about new features in different Java versions, e.g. [https://www.amazon.com/Java-New-Features-Practical-Heads-Up/dp/0992910579], [https://www.amazon.com/Java-11-Quick-Start-developments/dp/1789133270], and [https://www.amazon.com/JAVA-9-0-13-0-New-Features-ebook/dp/B07XY9WQ2T]. And just in case you don't think those are reputable enough, how about some articles: [https://www.infoworld.com/article/3184029/java-9s-other-new-enhancements-part-4-multi-release-jar-files.html], [https://www.infoworld.com/article/3340052/jdk-13-the-new-features-in-java-13.html], [https://www.infoworld.com/article/3534133/jdk-15-the-new-features-in-java-15.html] (all from one source but about different versions); [https://www.oreilly.com/content/java7-features/], [https://www.itprotoday.com/programming-languages/java-13-delivers-features-improve-productivity-efficiency], [https://www.infoq.com/news/2019/12/java14-feature-freeze/]... I've already gone 3 times over [[WP:THREE]], so I'll let you look for #10. But it's abundantly clear that [[WP:BEFORE]] didn't even factor into this nomination!
