Not notable. A one-man hobby project. No documented notable uses. No secondary literature; the few journal articles that describe the language are all by the author of the language. Oisguad (talk) 20:01, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I agree that the topic fails WP:GNG; other than the two interviews of the creator ([1] [2]) cited by the article, I could not find other reliable independent sources. The majority of the article is directly sourced from falconpl.org which is not an independent source. BenKuykendall (talk) 20:11, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep An informative article. Passes the notability.JPL549 (talk) 10:18, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There was a flurry of interest in the period 2008-2010 when the interviews were done and Niccolai wrote the first articles. But I can't find any independent coverage or any indication that it is in much use today. StarryGrandma (talk) 01:28, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Soft delete. Concur with the above - not seeing any sources outside the creator. He published few articles, got an interview about it, but now it's 10 years later and nobody thinks it is important. Heck, not even the creator himself has been publishing more on this. Still, perhaps a soft delete by redirecting to some list of programming languages that could mention it in in a sentence or two may be best. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:10, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
