only source in article is the "HyperTalk Reference stack" (referenced 3 times), likely a primary source that doesn't establish notability. besides that, the article is also really bad and should be blown up. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみ, ping me when replying 09:13, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lettherebedarklight: not sure why this is an AfD rather than a merge proposal to HyperTalk (admittedly we'd have to throw away most of it since it's bad, as you said) DFlhb (talk) 07:20, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to HyperTalk#Descendants of HyperTalk. The one and only reference, "HyperTalk Reference stack", is a hypertext guide for HyperTalk on Apple Mac specifically, not for XTalks generally, so is not reliable for what it is citing. This is abundantly clear from the refs title, but is also confirmed in this book. and others. SpinningSpark 16:22, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
