Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esoteric programming language related

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Anárion (talk | contribs) at 15:55, 29 September 2004 ([[C Plus Plus programming language]]). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

There seems to be a whole bunch of so called Esoteric programming language that found its way into wikipedia over time. Personally I think most of them are rubbish and nothing more than a (lame) joke, except maybe Befunge, Brainfuck, False, Intercal, Malbolge, Unlambda, and Shakespeare programming language (see Template:Esolangs). I apologize to the community for listing them all on VfD at the same time, especially since the VfD already has a very heavy load, but I see no other way to clean out this mess. By putting them all in one sub page Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Esoteric programming language related I hope to speed up the deletion process. Also, if some of you think some articles could be "Speedy Deleted", be my guest. Thank you -- Chris 73 Talk 12:01, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Delete 'em ALL!!! Good grief. I did enjoy TMMLPTEALPAITAFNFAL, though. New variables and commands for every day of the century. Employers must be screaming for this skill. Terrapin 14:27, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge (sans examples) all but Var'aq, False programming language. {Ανάριον} 15:03, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. By the way, the google search results are skewed. An extreme example:
    0 google hits for -wikipedia -thefreedictionary "HQ9 Plus" "esoteric programming language"
    2 google hits for -wikipedia -thefreedictionary "HQ9+" "esoteric programming language"
    251 google hits for -wikipedia -thefreedictionary "HQ9+"
    7 google hits for -wikipedia -thefreedictionary "C Plus Plus" "esoteric programming language"

  • Keep all You know something is MASSIVELY wrong with either the nominator or with vfd if 74 articles are proposed for deletion all at once. Like ARGH!
    Motivation: Computer languages are self selecting. If they don't work, they don't work and don't show up anywhere. Some esoteric computer langauges are more famous than others, but it doesn't hurt to have all of them on wikipedia. I'm somewhat strongly POV against vfd by now, and this kind of nomination doesn't do much to lower my blood pressure. I wish there was a speedy denomination procedure. (for obvioussly broken nominations such as this) :-( I'm going to stop doing vfd for a while now. Don't delete the entire wikipedia while I'm not watching? :-/ Kim Bruning 15:32, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
