Speedy delete clearly a toy project with no notable refences. The only reference is by the developer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flylanguage (talk • contribs)

Note - This AFD was malformed. There was no listing in the AFD list for July 26. I have added it. The AFD discussion did not have the standard AFD template material. I have added it in. Note that the nominator is the author of Fly (programming language) which is under consideration for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fly (programming language). -- Whpq (talk) 15:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Yup, all programming language entries with no notable references should apparently be removed, so here goes... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flylanguage (talk • contribs) 16:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If you google, there a many mentions of this language. The problem is simply that the article doesn't reference them. snaphat (talk) 17:00, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't matter, since there's not notable reference. Your keep is obviously Keep just because you have issues with me. - FlyLanguage
  - It does matter. Simply because the article doesn't reference things, doesn't make the subject not notable, just a poor article. I don't have issue with you, I actually voted weak-delete on another article you nominated for AfD. And, if you'd fix the malformed AFDs for the other stuff you nominated, I would score accordingly (as I agree with you in some of the cases). snaphat (talk) 21:00, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flylanguage (talk • contribs) 21:17, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Of our multitude of articles on minor and really non-notable languages, Boo is one of the few that does have some notice taken of it outside of its own developers.

I'd also note the WP:POINTY behaviour of the nominator here, just because their own pet project, Fly, looks likely to not survive an AfD. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:47, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Not relevant. The Boo article doesn't meet notability requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flylanguage (talk • contribs) 20:48, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
