The result was no consensus. No workable outcome here, especially as the merge target is a redirect. No consensus to delete. If you want to rename or merge, it can be done outside of AfD. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:08, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge/rename as concept programming (currently a redirect to here). Judging it as a product is completely the wrong approach. Instead XL is just a proof implementation for a new paradigm in programming, that of concept programming. That's still obscure, but it's also (if anyone can be encouraged to do the legwork on the article) encyclopedic. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:36, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
