Hi, IsaacStone, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Your article on Symsyn looks very interesting—thanks for contributing to the encyclopedia.

I wanted to let you know that we have a policy, Verifiability, requiring all of our facts to be supported by reliable sources. In order to satisfy this policy, every new article must cite a few such sources so that we know its information is accurate. If an article doesn't have any sources, it may unfortunately be deleted.

I can help you find and cite some sources if you want, or you can post help me on this page followed by any questions you want answered. Again, welcome! post below to answer, and end with four tildes ( ~ ) to auto-sign. FourViolas (talk) 20:03, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Please explain what is needed beyond the links provided.

 * Of course, sorry.


 * Sources should ideally be reliably published, basically "published somewhere with a fact-checking or peer-review process". Being published independent of a company trying to market the software is a plus too. Looking around the web, it looks like the best sources are the papers from Peymandoust and De Micheli.
 * Information should be followed by an inline citation directly supporting it. To do this, use tags and WP:Citation templates (oh, btw: WP:MARKUP is the language you're using.) Here's an example:

which will display as

SYMSYN is a programming language and real time multitasking run time environment.

Just change the relevant inputs for different papers; if you can find a DOI, this tool will do it for you. Best of luck! FourViolas (talk) 21:18, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Your edit here to Symsyn was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://sites.google.com/a/qsys.us/www/symsyn (redirect from http://qsys.us/symsyn), http://sites.google.com/a/qsys.us/www/symsyn/instructions, http://sites.google.com/a/qsys.us/www/symsyn/screenshot, http://sites.google.com/a/qsys.us/www/des-listing) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert.

Proposed deletion of Symsyn


The article Symsyn has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No references relevant to the language (most of the external links and references are to either to Wikipidia (and should be wikilinks instead - for example the ref/link for "real time") or the Symsyn website, the rest are not particular to Symsyn (the Pascal run time library, for example). Also no evidence of notability, mentions by third parties, or use by anyone other than the author (nor do searches turn up any plausible candidates), and the web site appears to imply that this language is a work in progress ("The first few instructions of a possible 9999 - Not all variants have been coded.  They will be added as needed" from the first external link).  So this appears to be someone's personal project.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
