FML is a markup language based on XML. It has no references, no cover from reliable sources. It has a link to a blog hosted by Google's Blogspot service, and on the 'standard' section of the Infobox it says work in progress, but the site doesn't show it.

• Easy keep – Per the sources above listed by User:JulesH, which are reliable and third party. I've added some of them to the article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:58, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment to the nominator – Just visiting the Google Scholar and Google Books links above strongly suggests topic notability, with many various sources available. Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is about the availability of sources, and not based upon upon whether or not sources are present in articles. See also WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. Please consider performing searches per WP:BEFORE prior to listing articles for deletion. Thank you for your consideration. Northamerica1000^(talk) 23:06, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
