Obix (programming language)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails General Notability Guideline, WP:NSOFT. Unable to find any sources. &#8213; Padenton &#124;&#9993;  08:31, 9 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep What does "Unable to find any sources." mean when the current article already lists one eponymously named citation in a RS tech journal?  Or when, apart from several ref deletions in recent weeks, it previously included a number of other sources.
 * I know nothing of Obix. But on this evidence alone, I would not seek to delete the article on it. Nor do I consider a clearly false boilerplate nomination (the nominator is bulk nominating many related articles, all with the same vacant rationale) of "Unable to find any sources." to be an accurate nomination.

 * Many related articles are failing to meet WP:GNG. 1 of those sources is a forum post. DeveloperIQ is a web citation to a webpage that has clearly never had any content. FOSS User is an open source magazine and that is not an official link from the FOSS User website (read: anyone can put in the magazine anything they want, making it a WP:SPS), I'll let you have the second DeveloperIQ citation. I do like that your argument was based on actual policy and facts this time, rather than editing my words so your argument would look better. &#8213;  Padenton &#124;&#9993;  14:16, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

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

 * Comment this is a second nomination; the previous one was closed without consensus at Articles for deletion/Obix programming language (prior to merge, hence not picked up by tools). Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 15:41, 18 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm not convinced at all by the sources in either the current or earlier versions of this article. If I am to interpret the HTTP redirect from rps-obix.com to practical-programming.org, the language either got renamed or superseded by PPL, but even then this seems to be a one-man project. As noted at the previous AfD, the sources are all of the type "here's a new prog. lang. and this is what it looks like", rather than in-depth coverage. Q VVERTYVS  (hm?) 15:54, 18 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete As noted above, the main web site does not even mention the name "Obix"- it is clearly a hobby language that died- no need to pollute wikipedia with it. 58.182.250.23 (talk) 16:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
