Programming languages
[edit]Hello. Why did you nominate so many programming languages articles for deletion? Did you not read the discussion or the relevant polices before posting? Do you agree with my "programming language nursery" idea to keep at least some of those info from deletion? Or you will try to save at least some of that info in Rosetta Code or whathever?

- I have never nominated anything for deletion in this Wikipedia. --Trustable (talk) 08:40, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- You made a list of languages that apparently should be deleted according to Wikipedia rules, so most of those languages are now in process of deletion: "There are Wikipedia articles about hundreds of programming languages. Many of them don't have any secondary sources. So why do you think Nim is not notable, but the following languages are? Obol (programming language), Picky (programming language), Little Interpreted Language, Seph (programming language), Halide (programming language), Roy (programming language), Plaid (programming language), Join-calculus (programming language), Objeck (programming language), Nemo (programming language), Ooc, Cl4 (programming language), Slave Programming Language, PureScript, Hope (programming language), MX Language, MCTRL, SmilScript, Wigzy, Mobl, Napier88 (I have just picked some random articles)"
- I hope you are aware of what you did. Caroliano (talk) 14:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Caroliano:Trustable did nothing. I'm the one who nominated them, as anyone should for any article that does not meet notability guidelines. The only reason these articles have not been nominated before is because no experienced editors had come across them, which is why WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a notability fallacy. If the article can stand up to scrutiny, it will remain. If not, it never deserved to be on Wikipedia in the first place. Stop acting like someone is being hurt over this. ― Padenton|✉ 19:24, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Padenton: You nominated a whole bunch of programmming languages at the same time based on his list. I can't do a serious search for sources on so many languages at once, and I don't want to see them all deleted, so I came here to ask for help, as he was interested in Nim deletion, maybe he don't want some of those languages articles lost. And I do think Wikipedia is being hurt by this. Caroliano (talk) 20:27, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Caroliano: Of course he was interested in the nim deletion. He wrote the Nim article. I am welcome to nominate programming languages for deletion, as is anyone. They don't meet notability guidelines, they don't belong here. ― Padenton|✉ 20:40, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- Funny discussion, I like you guys :D. "He wrote the Nim article." Wow, too much honor for me. I've just added some sentences.
- You have to know, that I know much about the German Wikipedia but almost nothing about the English Wikipedia, especially I don't know much about notability and deletion policy here. I thought only the German Wikipedia is very strict about notability and in the English Wikipedia everything gets an article, but apparently that's not true.
- I'm a software developer since more than 10 years and I know many programming languages. (Not only knowing them by it's name, but know how to work with them.) I was always looking for a better language, until I found Nim. Nim is the first language, which works the way I think a language/compiler/runtime should work. And it can be practical used, because everything you need is there (libraries etc.). At the same I think Nim is still in it's early phase, the version number is not yet 1.0 and big changes are still possible. I can't say whether the other articles should be deleted, but I'm sure that Nim is already notable or will be notable in the future. --Trustable (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Padenton: I didn't saw that he edited the Nim article (or if I saw I forgot). And of course you can nominate those pages for deletion (actually I thought only admins could do it), but I think that nominating too many similar things at once spread the resources to search for references too thin, and increase the risk of notable articles being deleted unfairly.

Disambiguation link notification for April 5
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nim (programming language), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lua. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
