[edit] A56 (software)

A56 (software) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Possibly non notable assembler. Hard to search for sources because of the generic name, and, in any case, I am unfamiliar with Usenet, and this article seems to relate to it, so perhaps I am missing something key. J Milburn 18:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep The DSP56k is a well-known product family, but as there does not seem to be a parent article for the DSP56k, I'd say keep it. DSP development is a little more specialized than general processor development, and there aren't that many (or at least that I am aware of) Yngvarr (t) (c) 19:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

• Addendum to above Well, I'm not going to strike my vote, but I did do a little bit of work on the article. I am afraid it'll never get beyond the stub phase. However, I did find that the 56k family does have an article, so I've properly linked it. Maybe it'll be better to merge these two sentences to that article?

• Delete, just another piece of non-notable software. I would like to see an improvement before the decision though. BASE101() 19:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per BASE10; this article should get cleaned up before final consensus. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 19:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per NASCAR Fan24. STORMTRACKER 94 21:28, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, notability of processor is irrelevant as notability is not inherited. No attribution of notability to independent sources kills it. --Dhartung | Talk 22:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Per NASCAR's reasoning. • Lawrence Cohen 15:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I added an external link for it to the Motorola 56000 article, but that's about all the merging I think it deserves. —David Eppstein 17:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as virtually empty.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 07:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertion of notability, much less one verified by reliable, third-party published sources. —  Satori Son 01:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
