Aikido (programming language)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Obscure programming language. Can't find any notable sources (just because it was made by some guy at Sun doesn't mean it is notable). Christopher Monsanto (talk) 18:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Looks like a good contribution to programming language theory and history. No arguments were given why the language is obscure. --Sergey Shandar (talk) 06:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Woefully uninformed comment - There is zero evidence in the article that this satisfies the general notability guideline. And @Sergey Shandar, the burden of proof is on the person who claims it's notable, not the other way around. - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 12:47, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I suggest people use the word "burden" carefully in discussing notability policy, as it tends to confound the discussion with WP:BURDEN content policy. What also helps is to identify relevant notability policy.  Unscintillating (talk) 17:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

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


 * Delete. Doesn't past the GNG reliable secondary source requirements. All I can find on the internet are the language's webpage, development site (Sourceforge), and a bunch of download sites. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 09:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't know why this professionally-written object-oriented interpreter with five patents does not draw more attention, but I could not find independent secondary sources to establish notability.  I added one reference from sourceforge, which at least the material is not a wiki mirror.  Unscintillating (talk) 17:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
