This steps over the line of WP:NOT. Virtually the entire article is release notes from Oracle. The encyclopaedic content is around the change in release cadence, which can be covered in the main article with a single sentence. Guy (help!) 13:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There may be an article to write on the history of Java; it is a vastly popular and rather old programming language which has seen a lot of change. However, this is not that article. The current article violates Wikipedia is not a directory; listing JEPs and syntax changes is the role of a changelog, not an encyclopedia. BenKuykendall (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
