Ballerina (programming language)

Topic has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it fails GNG - listed references are written by people involved in the language creation, or sponsored to be written. Charmk (talk) 16:04, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment This language is developed at (WSO2) and all references comes from them (Primary Resources). This reference is written by Sanjiva Weerawarana (WSO2), one of the Ballerina team (primary resource) and this reference is sponsored by WSO2, and this reference is written by Tyler Jewell (CEO of WSO2), and this reference is a trival mention that doesn't show significant coverage. Also this reference is written by Anjana Fernando (WSO2) Charmk (talk) 16:09, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Suggesting speedy keep per User:Stifle at User talk:Charmk. To properly determine the value and notability of these programming languages, we need experts in the specific application fields as well as language design and history. However, the many nominations of the same type at present do not allow careful research in the given time, so it's better to keep a weak article than to accidently lose a notable one just because someone was WP:POINTY.

Keep. It does look like there is some mention of this in the tech press: https://www.zdnet.com/article/ballerina-a-language-of-integration-of-technology-and-the-arts/. I added a citation to the article itself. Bjornredtail (talk) 07:15, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Merge. Given that Ballerina is effectually a product of WSO2, the content could be shortened and merged into the main company article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.246.246.253 (talk) 19:18, 17 July 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge and Redirect Ballerina is a product of WSO2 and does not seem notable enough to have its own article. Taewangkorea (talk) 23:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are mentions from independent authors as well. I added two citations to the article itself (https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/Ballerina-language-promises-to-improve-app-integration and https://searchmicroservices.techtarget.com/tip/How-does-Ballerina-stack-up-as-a-cloud-native-programming-language) Samallama14 —Preceding undated comment added 09:06, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
