[edit] Kvikkalkul

This article was part of the mass AfD of "Esoteric Programming languages" overturned by DRV here. It is being relisted for individual consideration. All these languages will be relisted, at five/day to prevent congestion. This is a procedural nomination, so I abstain. Xoloz 04:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - its fame seems to rest on a single humorous Usenet post. 4450 Google hits. — QuantumEleven 08:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. JIP | Talk 09:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - its origin is from a single humorous Usenet post (actually, two posts), but is fame goes far past that. I get over 1300 google hits, omitting trivials. It has also been discussed in print. See for example http://www.amazon.com/Radio-UserLand-Kick-Start/dp/0672325632/ this book, which contains at least one Kvikkalkul joke, and it has an article at FOLDOC.

• Delete per above. Eusebeus 16:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - is in Jargon File, thus probably quite widely known. (Doesn't appear to be in The New Hacker's Dictionary though.) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 12:12, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Not particularly interesting as a language, but has become notable since the original anonymous Usenet post; according to commentors above, it's in FOLDOC and the Jargon File and in print, so there are multiple secondary sources available. The original nomination was only based on notability (which seems to be established by the above and is an essay, not policy), and the language was kept in the overturned AfD (unlike most which were deleted). --ais523 14:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but consider "merge and redirect" Rich Farmbrough, 12:06 4 October 2006 (GMT).
• Keep —Ruud 21:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment about who the nominator is User:R. Koot (who signs as Ruud) was the nominator in the AfD that is being relisted here, but the Kvikkalkul part of that AfD was added by Kingboyk. --ais523 16:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
