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:

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.
