Scheme 48

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I found zero significant coverage. Non-notable software. Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 22:11, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I searched and didn't find any reliable sources that would be helpful, and the article itself doesn't make it clear how this software is notable. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:39, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. While the article itself lacks independent sources to support notability, that's a content issue if the sources are available but just haven't yet been cited.  It looks to me like the sources are available.  In only a few minutes poking around through the various Google searches, I found a class at UCSD that's using it and two papers, one about an algorithm built on this software and the other  making comparisons to Scheme 48.  Maybe I'm mistaking some of this as independent and secondary when it's not (and if so, please correct me!) but if it was this easy to find this much, I'm inclined to guess there's got to be more.

 * Keep. Notable topic but the article itself needs more secondary sources.  A Google search turns up references to universities that use Scheme 48 in coursework or as a research tool.
 * Scheme 48 tutorial at UCSC.edu
 * Scheme 48 paper from NEU.edu and Cornell.edu
 * Scheme 48 used as basis for compiler at Universita ̈t Tu ̈bingen
 * Those are a few examples. There are more than 20 papers at ReadScheme.org referring to Scheme 48 so perhaps some can be incorporated. ReadScheme.or search results here. A search on Google Scholar returns a lot of references to Scheme 48 also.  Google Scholar results here. It may also be notable that Scheme 48 is the foundation for Scsh.   --Ds13 (talk) 23:50, 6 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: If the Delete above is changed, I will withdraw the nomination. SL93 (talk) 00:07, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge with other sub-stub and stub members of Category:Scheme implementations to a single article. Mentions are not enough, we need extended coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:38, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


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