Quadro
Appears to be a vanity page about a fake programming language.

I can find no other references about the existence of this language, nor of the language creators mentioned.

The original article submitter included no source for the content, and that person's other contributions on the same day included vandalism: (look at the Bruce Lee and Medicine changes, in particular.)

Also, the programming code samples provided are meaningless. The Java sample is just a braindead hello world program, and the C++ one is comparably braindead (in addition to probably not compiling).

No other articles appear to link to Quadro. Bovineone 07:53, 17 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. I like to do scholarly journal searches for these.  The ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems contains 0 results for either "quadro" or "darren davies".  Science of Computer Programming contains 0 results for "quadro" or "darren davies".  Programming and Computer Software contains... 0 for quadro, 0 for "darren davies", and 0 for "any reason whatsoever to keep this article."  If it's not a hoax, it's vanity about somebody's grad school project in computer science.  And not even good vanity, seeing as how it doesn't say what university they did it at.

 * Delete, good research by you two. Dcarrano 06:09, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm always amazed at the lengths that VfD notability is researched. Anyways, with respect to the article, delete. --Titoxd 01:10, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
