Non-notable programming language. All primary search results return either a variation of this page or pages that originated from this. Article has not grown in the near 20 years since it was created. I can't find anything that would determine notability. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:12, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into KL-ONE. Krypton is a derivative of KL-ONE (reading the linked reference) so a brief mention there would preserve the knowledge. rsjaffetalk 22:35, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rsjaffe: I am uncertain if it is a derivative or simply a language that used principles from KL-ONE. The ref part you may be referring to says "KRYPTON developed mainly out of work on KL-ONE"; assuming it's an actual derivative, whilst not wholly unlikely, isn't necessarily obvious. The prose of this article is 1 sentence just stating that it is/was a language, so I am unsure what knowledge is preserved. If I thought a merge would benefit, I'd have done that instead of an AfD.

Rereading the article, it looks like the Tbox is a KL-One derivative but the Abox is not. However, the article is not at all clear about the relationships, so I kind of agree with you. I'm going to alter my recommendation to merge with Ontology language where it would fit in the list in Ontology_language#Traditional_syntax_ontology_languages. rsjaffetalk 18:51, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into KL-ONE as suggested above.--Bduke (talk) 00:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge. Sufficient knowledge exists to be included in wikipedia, but they are not significant enough to warrant a standalone article. BilledMammal (talk) 05:45, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge, but change target from my original suggestion. After looking at documentation again, its relationship with KL-ONE is less certain, but it certainly is an Ontology language and would suitably be an entry in the list Ontology_language#Traditional_syntax_ontology_languages with the reference as a footnote. So merge into Ontology language. rsjaffetalk 18:51, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with KL-ONE. Per page 17 of this journal work, page 2 of this journal article and page 7 of this one, Krypton is a hybrid successor of KL-ONE with an Abox and Tbox component. Heartmusic678 (talk) 16:19, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge, topic is best covered within KL-ONE. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:40, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
