# Wikipedia page being deleted

## Chris Double — 2011-02-13 23:15:04

    Just a heads up that the Joy [1] and Cat [1] wikipedia pages have been

    requested to be deleted by Christopher Monsanto [2]. If you have any

    notability information now is the time to bring it up:

    [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_(programming_language)

     Oh dear. The Factor page has been put on notice as well. I see the Nemerle page has already been nuked.

    I can understand the benefit of pulling things like Ioke. I can't understand the benefit of pulling Factor. Unfortunately, you can't write taste into the notability guidelines.

    Does anyone know how to "bring something up"? I viewed that

    discussion, clicked 'edit', and was taken into editing the Joy entry

    itself. I don't want to do that.

     Click the "this article's entry" link in the deletion box. It will bring you here:

     So has the Alice ML page.

     Yes, programming languages don't really fit with the strict

    interpretation of Wikipedia's notability.
