Delete Parakeet is a real language, as evidenced by [1] and [2]. But it never caught on to a larger user base outside those developing the Parrot virtual machine. I was unable to find any independent sources, so this seems to fail WP:GNG. --Mark viking (talk) 10:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:N for Parrot is marginal at best, as there's a distinct lack of secondary sourcing outside of parrot themselves. For Parakeet, even parrot.org doesn't seem to cover it. Andy Dingley (talk) 03:04, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
