Revision as of 03:32, 3 June 2007
LOLCODE is not notable. It was created only 6 days ago. It made the front pages of Digg, Reddit, and del.icio.us, but that does not make LOLCODE notable. There are no reliable sources reporting on LOLCODE. Vudicarus 22:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Only secondary source I can find is ScienceBlogs. Hardly enough. — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 22:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Lolcat for now. This one may become notable in the future (but I doubt it...) -- BPMullins | Talk 23:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per my comments above. --Haemo 23:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. The only source is the language's official website (and other personal sites). It has an external link at lolcat - that's about all that can be justified at the moment. If it receives non-blog outside coverage, it can always be remade. --- RockMFR 01:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Hilarious, but non-notable. -- Kesh 01:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - A majority of the article is a copyvio of [1] and [2]. That moves this to Speedy Delete G12 territory. -- Kesh 07:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, non-notable
fictionalprogramming language still in its infancy. —ptk✰fgs 21:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC) - Delete not notable -- Powerlord 06:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Much as I love lolcode, I don't think it's notable enough for inclusion yet. A sentence or two about it in Lolcat would be more appropriate. -- VitriolUK 10:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete for now. It presently lacks notability, but it may merit inclusion should it become non-fictional. A short section in Lolcats (but not copyvio) would be sensible. Ian¹³/t 11:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete (changed from keep). Non-notable but should have a section in Lolcat. — Taggard (Complain) 11:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, mention in locat. Too new to establish notability, no real sources yet. --Stlemur 14:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, LOLCODE is a programming language, while Lolcat is a meme. Though the language is inspired by Lolcat, they are too completely different entities. Would you merge the article for the Python language with Monty Python (which it is named for)? Additionally, it is not a "fictional" language. It has a PHP-based web framework (LOLCODE on Monorail) and several implementations via .NET and the Java SDK. 71.61.15.192 15:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I suggest, then, mentioning LOLCODE in the esoteric language entry.Vudicarus 20:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and make cursory mention in lolcat. MrZaiustalk 15:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Although it is not fictional (as noted by 71.61.15.162), as this point it isn't notable. A brief mention in Lolcat should suffice for now, until notability is established (if ever). P3net 15:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Teh merge to lolcat, heavily condensed. It is worth a mention that there's now a language based on lolcat-speak, but it doesn't need nearly this much detail, particularly when most of teh article is just copy-and-paste from teh website. JIP | Talk 16:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Notable as a meme -- I don't think many people are programming in it, but quite a few people are talking about it. "About" 250,000 ghits. Reliable source: [3] I don't think this is a copyvio; all the text appears to be original, only the examples have been copied. IMO, the examples probably count as fair use. Besides, the original is creative-commons licensed, so probably not a huge issue anyway. JulesH 16:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and minimal merge with lolcat. If we must have 'memes' on Wikipedia, let's keep it to the minimum possible. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 18:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hai! Plz can has lolcode in mah wikipedia? Do not want? O noes! Kthxbye. Serpent's Choice 19:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Teh lolzorzz. Iz that is a delete? JIP | Talk 20:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- I wanted to type, "Delete: No coverage in reliable sources and no notability as a programming language." But the temptation was too great. Serpent's Choice 20:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Teh lolzorzz. Iz that is a delete? JIP | Talk 20:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Merge as proposed. It's interesting, but not notable enough to have its own page. Taral 21:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment, I don't understand why so many people think it should be merged. Though though LOLCODE draws from LOLcat, they are unrelated. One is a programming language while the other is a meme. If languages such as Brainfuck and Whitespace have their own pages, why shouldn't LOLCODE?
- Keep it is a programming language Kevin Ricci 22:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Merge It is a rapidly growing programming languare, that has an established syntax, has a large website and community, and may have a compiler soon. Although it is not notable enough for an article, there should be a large section on it in Lolcat with a link to its website. 68.40.85.31 03:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
