A query language. No attempt made to demonstrate notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:42, 19 August 2011 (UTC) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:42, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, weakly. This actually is more intelligible than I expected. I was at least able to grasp from the text that this is an attempt to create a database query language that uses a multi-valued logic. Article is slightly but not insurmountably promotional in tone and referenced only to primary sources. GNews and Scholar find nothing, but the article claims that the creator has a published paper in a minor academic journal. I'll leave it to experts to suggest whether there's a place this might be profitably smerged into. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:18, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The issue is notability, not intelligibility (which as you say is adequate, though not great). A published paper by the creators has no bearing on this. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 11:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now. I just read editor comment at Talk:4QL_(query_language). No one made an effort to establish notability because the requirement was not communicated. --Kvng (talk) 02:47, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete the article. Apparently, I do not quite understand your standards and policies or perhaps disagree with them if apply to my article. Thanks for your time and effort and best regards. Andsz (talk) 05:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:29, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete – per author's request. Also, I could not find any reliable secondary sources on the subject aside form the single journal article. --Odie5533 (talk) 02:40, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
